    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather cat's eye beads, Swarovski crystals, Miyuki seed beads, toggle clasp, beading needle, and thread.
    Start with Core Beads: Add a stop bead to your thread, then string two cat's eye beads as the bracelet's core.
    Adding the Spiral: For each side, add five seed beads, one crystal, and five more seed beads. Sew back through the core beads to form the spiral.
    Continue the Pattern: Add one core bead at a time, repeating the spiral addition on each side.
    Clasp Attachment: Once the desired length is achieved, add the toggle clasp by sewing a loop of seed beads through which the toggle will attach.
    Finish the Bracelet: Secure the thread with knots and trim any excess.

    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.
