    • Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Rice-shaped beads (cylindrical beads). Bezel chatons for embellishments. 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread and a beading needle. A button clasp for finishing. Prepare the Thread: Cut a long piece of Dragon Thread, secure a stop bead at one end, and leave about 10 inches for attaching the clasp later. Create the First Unit: String one rice-shaped bead and add three 15/0 seed beads followed by four 11/0 seed beads to form the first right-angle weave (RAW) unit. Add Beads to Complete the RAW Structure: Continue adding 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads on each side of the rice-shaped bead to complete the first RAW unit. Incorporate Chatons: Add a bezel chaton between RAW units by threading two 15/0s, one 11/0, and the chaton. Secure tightly to maintain stability. Repeat the Pattern: Continue building the bracelet by repeating RAW units and adding chatons until the desired length is reached. Attach the Button Clasp: On one end, create a loop with 11/0 seed beads for the clasp. On the opposite end, attach the button clasp using 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads to secure it. Reinforce and Finish: Reinforce all connections by threading through the beads multiple times. Trim and burn any excess thread to complete the bracelet.
