Quick Project Steps
Prepare Your Thread:
Cut approx. 4 feet of DragonThread and thread a single needle.

String: Eva bead – 15/0 – 3mm pearl – 15/0, then pass through the second hole of the Eva. Add: 3 x 11/0 – 8/0 – 3 x 11/0, then another Eva bead and repeat pearl setup.
Form First Connector Loop:
Exit through Eva bead → Add: 3 x 11/0, pass through 8/0, then add 3 x 11/0, and loop back into Eva. Repeat for symmetry.
Continue Building Base:
Sew until exiting a group of 3 x 11/0s. Add: 8/0 – 3 x 11/0 – 8/0 – 3 x 11/0 – 8/0 and loop back into bracelet.
Add Next Eva Unit:
Exit through 11/0s → Add Eva with 15/0 – pearl – 15/0 inside. Repeat the loop-and-connect structure for next units.
Repeat Until Desired Length:
Use about 28–32 Eva beads depending on wrist size.
Attach Clasp:
Exit from 11/0s, add: 2 x 11/0 – 8/0 – 11/0 – 8/0 – 2 x 11/0, form a loop, then secure with reinforcement passes. Add clasp component between 8/0 and 11/0 beads.
Embellish with 15/0s:
Use peyote stitch to add 15/0s above each middle 11/0 (4 per unit). Optional: Add Montées between units, sewing through opposing 15/0s.
Reinforce Bracelet:
Thread through Eva → inner beads → 8/0 → next Eva, to connect all units solidly. Repeat across entire bracelet.
Finish and Trim:
Secure thread with knots in bridge threads, weave in tail, and burn excess.
