    Quick Project Steps

    Cut two 10-inch pieces of stretchy string.
    Start by alternating pillow beads with Miyuki spacers, following the mint chocolate chip color scheme.
    Intersperse the pattern with Potomac crystal rounds for added sparkle. Ensure the stretchy string is the maximum thickness that fits through the beads for durability.
    After beading approximately 7.5 inches, tie the ends with a secure knot and apply a dab of glue for reinforcement.
    Trim excess string and adjust the bracelet to hide knots discreetly.
