    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather 11/0 seed beads, 3mm bugle beads, a clasp, a beading needle, beading thread, and a stop bead.
    Attach the Stop Bead: Thread your needle and pass it through a stop bead twice, leaving a six-inch tail. This will hold your work in place.
    Begin the Bead Pattern: String two 11/0 seed beads, one bugle bead, repeating until you have four sections of bugle beads separated by seed beads.
    End with two seed beads.
    Start the Peyote Stitch: Skipping the first seed bead, pass through the next seed bead, adding 11/0 seed beads and integrating bugle beads into the pattern.
    Continue the Pattern: Follow the peyote stitch technique, alternating between adding seed beads and passing through bugle beads to extend the bracelet.
    Finish the Bracelet: Once you reach the desired length, secure the ends with clasps to complete your Roman Ruins bracelet.
