    • Quick Project Steps

    Step 1: Start with a ladder stitch, using a stop bead for guidance. Choose your bead colors, focusing on durability and skin contact. Step 2: Continue the ladder stitch, adding layers to achieve the desired bracelet length. Step 3: Complete the base ladder stitch and attach the clasp, using a square stitch style for secure attachment. Step 4: Embellish the bracelet with 11/0, 2mm Bicone, and 15/0 seed beads to create butterfly wing patterns, adding 4mm pearls for accents. Step 5: Repeat the embellishment pattern along the bracelet, ensuring the wings and pearls are evenly spaced. Step 6: Once reaching the end, secure the clasp and finish off the bracelet by tying off and burning down thread ends.
