Continue Adding Rows:
Repeat the pattern, ensuring even tension and alignment as you build the bracelet.
Maintain Tension:
Keep the beads snug but not overly tight to maintain flexibility.
Attach the Clasp:
Secure a clasp at the end using multiple passes of thread for reinforcement.
Reinforce the Bracelet:
Weave back through the bracelet to strengthen the structure before trimming excess thread.
Customize Your Design:
Experiment with different bead colors, sizes, and clasp styles for a personalized touch.
