Gather Your Materials: Beads: PieDuos, RounDuos, StormDuos, 15/0 Seed Beads. Thread: Green Dragon Thread (Size 8). Clasp: Cup Button. Needle: Size 10-12 Beading Needle Prepare the Thread & Stop Bead: Cut about 5 feet of thread and thread your needle. Add a stop bead at the end, leaving a 3-inch tail. Create the Base Structure: String one Round Duo bead followed by one Storm Duo, repeating until you have the desired bracelet length. Ensure Storm Duos are facing the same direction for symmetry. Reinforce the First Layer: Pass through all beads a second time to strengthen the structure. Pull the thread tight to prevent gaps between beads. Add Pie Duos for the Decorative Layer: Weave through the open holes of RounDuos to attach PieDuos. Keep bead tension firm to maintain structure. Connect Beads Using Right-Angle Weave: Use a right-angle weave technique to attach 15/0 seed beads around the design. This step helps keep the bracelet sturdy and polished. Create the Clasp Loop: Pick up five 15/0 seed beads and form a loop for the cup button closure. Reinforce by weaving through the loop twice. Secure the Thread & Finish: Pass the thread back through multiple beads to hide knots. Tie a secure knot and weave excess thread into the bracelet before trimming. Customize & Adjust: Extend the design into a necklace by repeating the pattern. Experiment with different bead colors or alternative clasps for a unique style.
