    Quick Project Steps

    Thread your needle with a comfortable length of thread; add a stop bead. Begin with DiscDuo beads, adding them to the thread followed by RounDuo beads, separated by seed beads, using the peyote stitch technique. Continue adding beads according to the pattern, alternating between the different types and sizes as demonstrated. Incorporate the SuperDuo beads into the design, ensuring to maintain the geometric pattern. Once the desired length is achieved, finalize the bracelet by adding a clasp using the Cup Button. Reinforce the thread path through the beads for added durability and finish off any loose ends.
