    Summer is right around the corner, which means it’s time to start thinking about your beach-ready wardrobe. And what’s a beach outfit without the perfect accessory? This Breaking Waves bracelet is an excellent finishing touch to any summer look.
    1. Start with about 8 feet of thread with a stop bead on. Pick up two 15/0s, an 8/0 and two more 15/0s followed by a 4mm crystal. Repeat a second time. Bring the needle back up through the first set and pull tight. Go through the next seed beads coming out before the last crystal. This will be the base for the RAW.
    2. Watch Allie in the Breaking Waves bracelet tutorial to continue the RAW, embellishing as you go.
    3. Thread on the clasp with a couple seed beads at the end of your project. Reinforce it three times. Bring the thread and needle down into the right angle weave about an inch and tie into some knots.
