    • Quick Project Steps

    Prepare your materials and cut approximately 5 feet of beading thread, attaching a stop bead.
    Start with a base layer of right-angle weave using MiniDuo beads and alternating colors of Potomac Crystal Rondelles.
    Add a floral design by incorporating a second color of rondelles and Potomac Crystal Bicones at the top of each flower.
    Continue the pattern to the desired length of the bracelet, ensuring each flower is snug and well-defined.
    Finish the bracelet with a button clasp, using a Cup Button and additional seed beads for a secure closure.
    Reinforce the entire bracelet by weaving through the beads a second time, tying off and trimming excess thread.
