    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather all materials listed above. Cut approximately five feet of beading thread, attaching a stop bead.
    Start the Bracelet: Using a right-angle weave, begin creating the center row with your chosen color of RounDuo beads, flanked by Miyuki 11/0 seed beads and pinch beads.
    Building Layers: Add additional layers to the bracelet by alternating the colors of the RounDuo beads and integrating them with pinch beads and Miyuki 11/0 seed beads, maintaining the right-angle weave pattern.
    Closure: Create a loop on one end of the bracelet for closure, using a cup button.
    Decorative Elements: Finish the bracelet by adding decorative Xs and Vs on the outer layers to enhance the design, emulating the stained glass effect.
    Final Touches: Reinforce the closure with additional thread passes and secure any loose ends with knots and a dab of glue.
