    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather all beads, two needles, and about 5 feet of beading thread.
    Start with the Clasp: Thread a needle on each end of the thread, add three 11/0 seed beads, and pass both needles through a cup button. Add three more 11/0 seed beads on each side.
    Adding Round Trios: Add an 11/0 seed bead, then a Round Trio bead, crossing needles through the first hole. Add another 11/0 on each side and cross through the middle hole of the Round Trio.
    Expand the Bracelet: Continue adding Round Trio beads and 11/0 seed beads, alternating the needle passage through the Round Trio beads' holes to form the base.
    Making the Loop: Create a loop at the other end for the clasp using 11/0 seed beads.
    Inserting Drops: On both sides, add Czech drops next to each Round Trio by passing through every three seed beads.
    Finishing Touches: After adding all drops, secure the thread with knots, apply glue if desired, and trim excess thread.
