  • Quick Project Steps

    Attach the Clasp: Thread a size 12 beading needle with about 1.5 meters of thread. Pick up three 11/0 seed beads and one cup button. Create a loop by going back through the seed beads and secure with a knot. Create the Base with Right-Angle Weave: Add four 11/0 seed beads to create a square. Use the double right-angle weave technique to form the base of the bracelet. Add the Pi Duos and Embellishments: Add two Pi Duos, one 15/0 seed bead, and one 11/0 seed bead to form the main pattern. Embellish with 4mm bicone crystals between Pi Duos. Expand with Double Right-Angle Weave Sections: Continue adding right-angle weave sections with Pi Duos and embellishments until you reach the desired length. Finish the Bracelet with a Loop for the Clasp: Attach 11/0 seed beads and form a loop that fits around the cup button. Reinforce the loop by going through the beads several times. Secure and Tie Off the Thread: Make half-hitch knots between beads to secure the thread. Use a thread burner or scissors to trim excess thread.
