    Prepare Materials: Gather all necessary materials: 6mm bugle beads, Miyuki Tila beads, 1.8mm cube beads, size 11/0 seed beads, size 12 beading needles, and .006 Wildfire thread. Thread Needles: Pre-thread two size 12 beading needles with .006 Wildfire thread. Start with Tila Beads: Add a Tila bead, bugle bead, and another Tila bead to the middle of your thread. Create the Fringe: With the right needle, pick up a size 11/0 seed bead, a 1.8mm cube bead, and another size 11/0 seed bead. Sew through the Tila bead from right to left. Add Bugle Beads: Pick up a bugle bead and sew through the next Tila bead, repeating on the opposite side. Continue the Pattern: Repeat steps 4 and 5, adding beads to both sides, and ensuring the thread is pulled taut. Finish the Bracelet: Continue the pattern until the bracelet reaches the desired length. Secure the thread and add a clasp if desired.
