    Quick Project Steps

    Start with a completed single flat spiral bracelet.
    Attach a stop bead to a new thread and begin by adding two cat's eye beads.
    Follow by adding a sequence of five 11/0 seed beads, one 4mm crystal, and another set of five 11/0 seed beads.
    Loop back through the two cat's eye beads to form the base of the second spiral.
    Continue by adding beads in the pattern, sharing a crystal bead with the first spiral to interlink the two layers.
    Repeat the process to extend the length of the double spiral along the bracelet.
    Finish by securing the thread and attaching clasps as needed.
