    Quick Project Steps

    Gather your materials: Czech glass rondels, 8/0 and two colors of 11/0 seed beads, Wildfire thread, needle, and closure.
    String one 8/0 seed bead, one rondel, and another 8/0 seed bead, repeating until you have six rondels on your thread.
    Form a circle by sewing back through the first 8/0 seed bead and continue to the next step to create the flower base.
    Add three 8/0 seed beads as a connector between the flowers for a seamless look.
    Use the 11/0 seed beads to add centers and petals to each flower, choosing colors for the petals and stems.
    Continue the pattern until you have the desired length for your bracelet, typically eight flowers.
    Attach your choice of closure, such as a lobster clasp and ring, to finish the bracelet.
