    • Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Three colors of LeafDuo beads. 11/0 Miyuki seed beads. Dragon Thread (size 6 or 8). Toggle clasp. Set Up the Thread: Attach a stop bead to the thread, leaving a 6-inch tail for later use. Add the First LeafDuo: Pick up one LeafDuo bead and ensure its tip points toward the center of the bracelet. Continue the Pattern: Alternate LeafDuo bead colors, adding an 11/0 seed bead between each LeafDuo. Align each bead for a symmetrical braided pattern. Build the Bracelet Length: Repeat the sequence until the desired bracelet length is achieved. Reinforce the Design: Add seed bead borders along the edges to fill gaps and strengthen the bracelet. Incorporate Embellishments (Optional): Add crystals, pearls, or additional beads to the center for a decorative touch. Attach the Toggle Clasp: Create a seed bead loop to secure the clasp. Reinforce by threading through the loop multiple times. Finalize and Adjust: Tighten all threads and ensure bead alignment. Tie off and trim excess thread.
