Quick Project Steps

Start with five feet of beading thread on a size 11 or 12 needle. Attach a stop bead.
Begin the pattern by threading Snake Trio beads, ensuring the curve is facing outwards.
Add a RounDuo® bead followed by three 11/0 Miyuki Seed Beads, looping back through to create a snug fit.
Continue the pattern, alternating the position of the Snake Trio and RounDuo® beads, creating the bracelet's unique towpath design.
Once the desired length is achieved, attach a cup button to one end and create a loop on the other end to secure the bracelet.
Finish by weaving in any loose ends for a polished look.
