Quick Project Steps
Gather Materials:
StormDuo beads. 4mm pearls. Seed beads (11/0 and 15/0). Dragon Thread. Clasp and jump rings. Beading needle.
Prepare Your Thread:
Cut approximately 6 feet of Dragon Thread. Tie a stop bead at one end, leaving a 6-inch tail.
Create the Zipper Pattern:
Thread StormDuos in a consistent direction to form the bracelet’s backbone. Maintain tension for a neat, interlocking “zipper” effect.
Add Pearls: Place 4mm pearls between the StormDuos to enhance the design’s texture. Repeat this pattern along the bracelet length.
Form the Fans:
Use groups of three StormDuos on each side of the bracelet to create fan-like embellishments. Mirror the pattern for symmetry.
Fill Gaps with Seed Beads:
Add 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads between StormDuos and pearls for additional detail and structure.
Attach the Clasp:
Use seed beads to connect the clasp securely at both ends. Reinforce by threading through the beads and clasp loops multiple times.
Reinforce and Finish:
Pass through all beads again to tighten the structure. Tie off the thread with half-hitch knots, trim excess, and adjust the bracelet for balance.

I had a hard time navigating your web site. Took too long to find everything I was looking for. When I go into the search bar I expect to have that item come up. Specifically I was looking for miniduo beads. This is the first time I've ordered from you. We'll see how it goes.
I can easily find what I am looking for, and the quality is always great!
