    Gather materials and select a color scheme.
    Cut approximately two feet of thread, string onto the needle, and start by creating a circle with a specific bead sequence.
    Construct the bracelet's length by repeating the pattern, ensuring to leave space for the clasp.
    Add the toggle or clasp by incorporating seed beads and a cup button.
    Begin the top portion of the bracelet, integrating rulers and O beads into the design.
    Complete the other side of the bracelet by mirroring the pattern and finish by securing all threads with half hitch knots.
