Quick Project Steps

Prepare Your Materials: Gather your Tila beads, Czech glass beads, seed beads, beading thread, and needle.
Start the Bracelet: Add a stop bead to your thread. Begin the pattern with a Czech glass bead, a seed bead, a Tila bead, and repeat the pattern with variations in bead counts as demonstrated in the video.
Create the First Row: Follow the initial pattern, alternating between the beads as specified, to complete the first row.
Begin the Second Row: Use the two holes of the Tila beads to start the second row, adjusting the pattern for a twisted effect by increasing and decreasing the number of Czech glass beads.
Complete Subsequent Rows: Continue with the pattern adjustments for the third and fourth rows, ensuring the twisted pattern is maintained.
Finish the Bracelet: Attach a tube clasp to the ends using additional thread, securing it properly to ensure durability.

I spent half an hour trying to login, my password didn’t work and yet the software wouldn’t let me change my password. I couldn’t even set up a new account. Frustrating 10!
