    Quick Project Steps

    Start by threading a needle with 5 feet of Wildfire beading thread and attaching a stop bead.
    String an 11/0 seed bead, a DiscDuo bead, repeating the pattern until reaching the desired bracelet length.
    Add the clasp (Cup Button) by stringing two 11/0 seed beads, going through the button, adding a Miyuki drop, and then coming back down to continue the pattern.
    Reinforce the clasp by weaving back through the added beads and the first few DiscDuo beads.
    Work on the second side of the bracelet by adding 11/0 seed beads through the alternate holes of the DiscDuo beads.
    To finish, weave back through the bracelet to reinforce and secure the beads, then trim and melt the thread ends.
