Quick Project Steps

Prepare your materials: You'll need two needles threaded for this project. Start with a comfortable length of thread.
Begin with a Disco Bead: Pick up a disco bead with one needle and let it fall to the bottom of the thread.
Adding Seed Beads and Czech Faceted Rounds: On each needle, add a 15/0 seed bead, a 3mm Czech faceted round, and another 15/0 seed bead.
Forming the First Unit: Cross through another disco bead with both needles, forming your first unit.
Creating the Bangle: Repeat the process, adding units until you achieve a length that comfortably fits around the widest part of your hand, then remove 3-4 units for a snug fit.
Finishing Touches: Connect the ends by weaving through the beads to secure and tighten the bangle. Add 11/0 seed beads for a polished look.
