Weaving Techniques: Follow detailed instructions for bead placement, including adding 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads in specific sequences for intricate detailing. Creating Components: Repeat the process to complete each component of the bracelet, ensuring tight threading for a neat finish. Final Touches: Once the desired length is achieved, attach the clasp securely, ensuring the correct orientation for wearing. Completing the Bracelet: Trim and burn down any excess thread, ensuring a clean finish.
