Quick Project Steps

Prepare Your Materials: Gather kite beads in three colors and 15/0 seed beads. Cut a 5-foot length of beading thread, threading it through a size 10 needle, adding a stop bead at the end.
Base Pattern Creation: String kite beads in your chosen color pattern, focusing on the short side of the beads for the initial row.
Building the Pixelated Design: Switch to adding beads through the longer, narrow side, incorporating 15/0 seed beads as connectors between kite beads. Alternate colors according to your pattern.
Adding the Clasp: Once the desired length is achieved, add the two-strand clasp at both ends of the bracelet, using 15/0 seed beads to integrate the clasp seamlessly.
Finishing Touches: Work back through the bracelet, adding 15/0 seed beads between the outer holes of the kite beads to solidify the design and reinforce the clasp.
Final Inspection and Adjustment: Ensure the bracelet fits comfortably and make any necessary adjustments. Tie off and burn down excess thread.

Your checkout process was very annoying. Need to be able to see password. The project itself was great - with a pattern that was beginner-friendly.
