  • Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather all the required beads, thread, needle, and tools. Begin the CRAW Stitch: Thread the needle with a comfortable length of Dragonthread. Start with 4mm pearls and seed beads to create the initial unit of the cubic right angle weave (CRAW) stitch. Form the Cube: Follow the CRAW stitch technique to form a cube with four sides using seed beads and pearls. Add the Center Pearl: Insert a 6mm pearl in the center of the cube and secure it by weaving through the seed beads. Create Bracelet Arms: Using the double right angle weave, create the arms of the bracelet. Embellish the weave with additional seed beads for stability. Attach the Clasp: Add a wire guard to one end of the bracelet. Attach the Claspgarten clasp using jump rings for added security. Final Touches: Reinforce the bracelet by weaving through the beads multiple times. Tie off the thread and trim any excess. Completion: Ensure all beads are secure and the bracelet fits comfortably.
