    Gather Materials: 6mm disco ball beads. 11/0, 8/0, and 15/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread (size 8). Wire guard and a clasp. Set Up the Thread: Cut approximately 5 feet of Dragon Thread. Attach a stop bead at one end, leaving a 6-inch tail. String the Base Pattern: Follow the pattern: 11/0 seed bead, 8/0 seed bead, 11/0 seed bead, and a 6mm disco ball bead. Repeat until you achieve the desired bracelet length. Attach the Clasp: Use a wire guard to secure the clasp. Thread through the clasp loop, wire guard, and back through the beads multiple times to reinforce. Create the First Loop: String three 15/0 beads, one 11/0 bead, one 8/0 bead, another 11/0 bead, and three more 15/0 beads. Secure the loop by threading into the next 8/0 bead in the base pattern. Continue Adding Loops: Repeat the loop pattern along the length of the bracelet, threading through each 8/0 bead to secure. Align the Loops: Adjust thread tension to align the loops evenly on both sides of the bracelet. Finish and Secure: Reinforce the clasp connection by threading through the wire guard again. Tie off the thread securely and trim excess with a thread burner. Customize Your Design: Experiment with bead colors or add embellishments for a personalized style.
