    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: RounDuo beads (dual-hole beads). 8/0 and 11/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread (size 8) with a size 10 needle. Toggle clasp for the closure. Start the Right-Angle Weave Base: Add four 8/0 seed beads onto the thread. Create a right-angle weave unit by passing the needle back through beads 1, 2, and 3. Add the RounDuo Beads: Add one 11/0 bead, a RounDuo bead (through the first hole), and another 11/0. Pass back through the RounDuo bead’s second hole and secure it into place. Decorate the Edges: Add two 11/0 seed beads, one 8/0 bead, and two more 11/0 beads to the side of the RounDuo. Repeat the decoration on the opposite side for symmetry. Continue the Pattern: Build additional right-angle weave units by adding three 8/0 beads to connect to the previous unit. Repeat the RounDuo and edge decoration steps for the desired bracelet length. Tighten and Reinforce: Pass through the seed beads along the edges to ensure the design is tight and polished. Attach the Toggle Clasp: String eight 11/0 seed beads, loop through the toggle clasp bar, and reinforce with multiple passes for durability. Secure the other side of the clasp similarly. Finish the Bracelet: Tie off the thread securely and trim excess using a thread burner. Reinforce any weak areas by threading through beads again. Customize: Experiment with different colors, bead sizes, or add variations for necklaces or chokers.
