    Prepare Materials: Gem Duos and round Duos (6mm). Faceted mirrored rounds (6mm). 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread (5ft) with size 10 needles on both ends. Infinite clasp for fastening. Set Up the Thread: Thread a size 10 needle on each end of the Dragon Thread. Attach the infinite clasp to the center of the thread to anchor the bracelet. Begin the Pattern: Thread 11/0 seed beads and a round Duo onto both needles to start the design. Add gem Duos, ensuring they all face the same direction. Add Embellishments: Incorporate faceted mirrored rounds between gem Duos for a festive look. Use 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads to fill and space between larger beads. Complete the Bracelet: Mimic the start pattern at the other end, attaching the clasp loop. Ensure all beads are secured and symmetrical. Reinforce and Tie Off: Reinforce the clasp by passing through beads multiple times. Tie off threads with secure knots and trim excess. Finish and Style: Ensure all gem Duos are aligned. Enjoy your elegant and festive Jolly Holly Bracelet!
