    • Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: StormDuo beads. 4mm pearls. Seed beads (11/0 and 15/0). Dragon Thread. Clasp and jump rings. Beading needle. Prepare Your Thread: Cut approximately 6 feet of Dragon Thread. Tie a stop bead at one end, leaving a 6-inch tail. Create the Zipper Pattern: Thread StormDuos in a consistent direction to form the bracelet’s backbone. Maintain tension for a neat, interlocking “zipper” effect. Add Pearls: Place 4mm pearls between the StormDuos to enhance the design’s texture. Repeat this pattern along the bracelet length. Form the Fans: Use groups of three StormDuos on each side of the bracelet to create fan-like embellishments. Mirror the pattern for symmetry. Fill Gaps with Seed Beads: Add 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads between StormDuos and pearls for additional detail and structure. Attach the Clasp: Use seed beads to connect the clasp securely at both ends. Reinforce by threading through the beads and clasp loops multiple times. Reinforce and Finish: Pass through all beads again to tighten the structure. Tie off the thread with half-hitch knots, trim excess, and adjust the bracelet for balance.
