    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Cut approximately 4 feet of beading thread, attaching a needle to each end.
    Add Clasp: Start with the cup button clasp, adding it and the first SuperDuo bead to your thread.
    Initial Beading Pattern: Begin your pattern with 11/0 seed beads, followed by 8/0 seed beads, and establish the base of the bracelet.
    Main Pattern: Alternate between O Beads, 8/0 seed beads, Miyuki drops, and SuperDuos, incorporating pyramid beads at intervals to create the bracelet's body.
    Repeat Pattern: Continue the established pattern, ensuring even spacing and symmetry throughout the bracelet.
    Finish with Clasp: Create a loop with 11/0 seed beads for the cup button clasp to secure, reinforcing the loop for durability.
