    In this PotomacBeads tutorial you’ll learn how to use 2 needles to create this lovely, silky Butterfly Boxes bracelet.
    1. Thread 2 needles onto 5 feet of thread. Bring the needles through a cup button, pick up 2 silver seed beads on each needle. Cross through a pinch bead in either direction with both needles. Reinforce the seed beads and cup button by re-threading with each needle.
    2. Make the wings of the Butterfly Boxes bracelet by watching the tutorial where Allie will guide you through the process.
    3. Pick up 2 silver beads onto each needle and then bring both needles through a pinch bead in the same direction. Make a loop with 30 seed beads. Tie the threads into a knot. Reinforce the end of the loop by threading through again. Burn down the edges. Glue the Potomac crystal rivoli into the cup button.
    The Butterfly Boxes bracelet is a nice flexible bracelet that’s comfortable to wear. You can add some more bling to it if you’d like by stitching crystals along the outside edge. Find all your beading needs at PotomacBeads.
