Create the Wedding Cake Bracelet, a layered and elegant design using Eva beads, PieDuo beads, Miyuki 11/0 seed beads, and 4mm bicone crystals. The tutorial teaches how to form individual geometric units that can be linked together to make a full bracelet, or used individually as earrings or necklace components. You'll work with DragonThread and create structured connections with alternating PieDuo orientations, adding sparkle with bicone centers and accent details. Finish the bracelet with a secure clasp and reinforced loop for durability. This piece blends metallics and crystals for a polished, bridal-inspired look, perfect for any occasion.

Quick Project Steps
Start with Stop Bead: Thread your needle with DragonThread and add a stop bead to anchor your start.
Create Base Unit:
Add: 3 x 11/0 seed beads, go down through Eva bead (V-side to open side). Add 1 x 11/0, then a Pi Duo (hole facing Eva). Add 2 x 11/0, then another Pi Duo in opposite direction (facing outward). Add 3 x 11/0 and go back through the first Pi Duo to complete the arc.
Mirror the Structure: Add 2 x 11/0, one more Pi Duo, and 1 x 11/0, then finish the loop with an Eva bead.
Add Center Crystal:
Exit from the inner seed beads and add: 11/0 – 4mm bicone – 11/0. Cross to the opposite side and go through the matching seed bead to lock the crystal.
Join Next Unit:
Exit through the edge, repeat the full unit steps, but this time share the 4mm crystal between units to link them.
Add Outer Arches:
Along the edge Pi Duos, add: 3 x 11/0 – 4mm bicone – 2 x 11/0, skip the middle bead to form a pointed arch.
Repeat to Desired Length:
Continue building and connecting new units until the bracelet fits your wrist.
Attach Cup Button Clasp:
Add 3 x 11/0s, pass through the cup button, add 3 more 11/0s, then go back through the last bicone and reinforce.
Create the Loop:
On the opposite end, add 3 x 11/0s + 28 x 11/0s, form a loop, and reinforce with a V-formation for security.
Secure and Finish:
Use a bridge thread to tie a knot, weave the thread in, and burn off the excess for a clean finish.
