    Quick Project Steps

    Start the Bracelet: Thread your needle with a comfortable length of thread. Begin with creating the core component using eight DropDuo beads, linking them into a circular base.
    Add Montee and Seed Beads: Center a Montee crystal between groups of DropDuo beads, securing it with 15/0 seed beads on either side.
    Expand the Component: Add a second layer of DropDuo beads in a contrasting color, interspersed with 15/0 seed beads to enhance the design.
    Link Components: Once the initial component is complete, continue creating and linking additional components, alternating the direction for a dynamic design.
    Finalize with Clasp: Complete the bracelet by adding a clasp, using seed beads to create a loop on one end and attaching a cup button on the other for closure.
