    • Quick Project Steps

    Preparing the Clasp: Attach a cup button using three 11/0 seed beads, threading through each side of the button and then adding three 11/0 seed beads to each needle.
    Adding Dome Beads: Start by adding 8/0 seed beads, creating a cross-through point for symmetry, followed by attaching the smaller dome bead (10x6mm).
    Incorporating Crystals: After the dome beads, introduce crystal rondelles between 8/0 seed beads using peyote stitch for embellishment.
    Finishing Touches: Complete the bracelet by securing the clasp's loop end with 11/0 seed beads in a peyote stitch pattern for a snug fit around the button.
    Variations: Encourages experimenting with different colors and bead types for personal customization.
