    Quick Project Steps

    Start with threading your needle with approximately 5 feet of beading thread, securing a stop bead at the end.
    Begin the pattern with three 15/0 seed beads, a Czech bugle bead, three more seed beads, a 4mm Czech glass bead, followed by three more seed beads, forming a triangle weave.
    Continue adding units by alternating between a bugle bead and a 4mm Czech glass bead, separated by sets of three 15/0 seed beads, building the helix pattern.
    After reaching the desired length, add two 15/0 seed beads, a 4mm Czech glass bead, and two more 15/0 seed beads between each bugle bead along the sides of the bracelet to cinch the design together.
    Attach the cup button clasp at one end of the bracelet and create a loop with seed beads at the other end for closure.
    Optionally, enhance the design with additional decorations along the edges for a more pronounced helix effect.
