    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: IrisDuo beads (main structural component). RounDuo Minis (for accents). 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads (embellishment). Dragon Thread (5 feet, with a needle on each end). Decorative clasp (for closure). Prepare Thread and Start: Thread both ends of Dragon Thread onto separate needles. Add an IrisDuo bead to the center of the thread, followed by an 8/0 seed bead on each needle. Create the Base Rows: Add an IrisDuo bead and cross both needles through the bottom hole to connect. Continue threading IrisDuo and RounDuo minis, ensuring all IrisDuo beads are facing the same side. Adjust Length and Attach Clasp: Measure the bracelet against your wrist size. Add two 11/0 seed beads and thread through the clasp loop on each needle. Secure with multiple passes. Second Pass for Embellishment: Add 15/0 seed beads and crystals between rows to enhance texture and design. Thread through beads from the base layer for reinforcement. Finalize and Secure: Tie secure knots with both threads and trim excess. Burn thread ends for a polished finish.

    Reviews indicate supplies may not be complete. I was hoping to ship this to another address but didn’t see that option available. So I’ll need to pay two shipping fees.

    Found it extremely difficult to bring up “oval clasp”. Searched the whole site and would key in “oval clasp” and wouldn’t come up. Was ready to cancel order out of frustration.
