    Quick Project Steps

    Start with cutting about five feet of beading thread, threading a needle on each end.
    Begin the base layer by adding three pip beads separated by 11/0 seed beads on each side, centered around an 8mm bead.
    For the top layer, reduce the number of pip beads to two on each side, creating a more pronounced flower effect.
    After completing the floral design, reinforce the bracelet's closure with a Cup Button and additional seed beads.
    Finish the bracelet by adding a row of 15/0 seed beads behind the Potomac crystals for aesthetic and structural support.
