    Attach the clasp and start weaving by adding Ava beads and crystals, securing them in place with SuperDuos and seed beads.
    Continue the pattern, adding embellishments and connecting the beads as shown in the tutorial to achieve the bracelet's base structure.
    Embellish the sides of the bracelet with additional seed beads for texture and visual interest.
