Quick Project Steps

Prepare Your Materials: Gather all materials and cut approximately 5 feet of White Wildfire thread, threading a needle on each end.
Begin with the Clasp: Add the table cut button to both threads, using 15/0 seed beads for embellishment around the button.
Start Beading: Alternate adding AVA and RounDuo® beads, using PC Rondelle and 15/0 seed beads for spacing and decoration.
Follow the Pattern: Continue the alternating pattern of AVA and RounDuo® beads, ensuring the AVA beads face alternate directions for the snaking design.
Complete the Length: Repeat the beading process until the bracelet reaches your desired length, considering the clasp for the total length.
Finish with the Loop: Create a loop at the other end with 15/0 seed beads for the button clasp, ensuring it's secure and the right size for the button.
