    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare the Materials: Gather all the beads and supplies listed. Cut about six feet of beading thread and thread two size 10 beading needles, one on each end.
    Start with the Cut Button: Place three 11/0 seed beads on one needle, thread the cut button, and then add three 11/0 seed beads on each side of the button.
    Begin the Beadwork: Create a base by adding and crossing three 11/0 seed beads. Repeat this step to form a stable foundation.
    Adding Zuro Beads and Cubes: Align the Zuro beads and Swarovski cubes, ensuring the A/B coating faces the desired side. String them along with the seed beads as described to form the circuit design.
    Extending the Bracelet: Continue adding circuits by repeating the process of aligning and stringing Zuro beads and cubes, separated by sections of seed beads.
    Finishing Touches: Once the bracelet reaches the desired length, create a loop with 11/0 seed beads for the button clasp. Secure the thread and trim any excess.
