Quick Project Steps

Prepare Materials: Gather all beads, thread, needles, and clasp as listed.
Thread Needles: Cut a length of thread and thread both needles, tying a knot to secure them together.
Attach Clasp: Use one needle to thread through the clasp, creating a secure starting point for the bracelet.
Start Beading: Begin with threading seed beads and your first 2-Hole Cabochon, following the pattern for symmetrical bead placement.
Create Ribbon Effect: Introduce SuperDuos and crystal rondelles, alternating sides to create the ribbon effect across the bracelet.
Add Finishing Touches: Continue beading, following the pattern until the desired bracelet length is achieved. Attach the other side of the clasp.
Final Adjustments: Ensure all beads are securely in place and the thread is well hidden within the beadwork.
