Pick up a couple more 11/0 seed beads and sew down into the project. Reinforce. Add Potomac pearls to the edge of the beaded bracelet and make a loop out of seed beads on the other end to hold the cup button clasp. The Twin Gems IrisDuo & PieDuo Bracelet pattern can be used with multiple kinds of beads. Have fun making different styles with your favorite 4mm and 2mm beads to create unique jewelry for yourself and others.
