The Designer’s suggested colors and materials:

Potomac Crystal round beads (4mm) in various colors (Crystal Labrador, Metallic Transparent Aqua, Metallic Transparent Green, Magic Blue, Metallic Blue Iris).

1.5mm Greek leather (brown color).

.006 Wildfire beading thread (black color).

Size 10 beading needle (English beading needle, Pony brand).

Super New Glue.

Thread burner (Thread Zap II by Beadsmith).

Potomac Crystal button (Magic Blue color).

Prepare Materials: Cut leather to four times your wrist length. Prepare a 5-foot thread with a needle.
Starting the Bracelet: Begin with a single dark bead, working upwards in width to three beads. Use an overhand knot to create a loop for the button.
Adding Beads: Continue adding beads in chosen colors, creating a gradient effect. Ensure beads are placed three wide for the main pattern.
Continuing the Pattern: Maintain consistency in bead placement and thread direction. Adjust the tightness to allow some movement of the beads.
Downgrading Beads: As you near the bracelet's end, reduce the bead count from three to one, reversing the process used at the start.
Attaching the Button: Sew the crystal button onto the leather to secure the bracelet. Finish by tying and trimming the thread and leather ends.
