    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather all required beads, thread, and clasp. Start with Stop Bead: Thread a stop bead onto about 40 inches of size 8 white dragon thread. Add Initial Beads: Thread one RounDuo bead, a SuperDuo bead, and three dagger beads. Repeat the pattern with an 11/0 seed bead, SuperDuo bead, and RounDuo bead. Continue Pattern: Repeat the bead pattern for the entire length of the bracelet. Adjust length slightly as the bracelet will shrink. Attach Clasp: Add 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads before and after the clasp. Ensure the bracelet is not twisted. Reinforce and Decorate: Reinforce the thread through the beads, adding seed beads and crystals to the sides. Finish Bracelet: Tie off the thread, burn ends, and add final touches to ensure beads lay flat and secure.
