    Quick Project Steps

    Start by threading an even number of SuperDuo beads (about 7 inches long) for the bracelet's length.
    Use a traditional peyote method, adding 11/0 seed beads at the ends for a clean finish.
    Continue adding rows to build the width, ensuring an odd count for proper closure.
    Round out the bracelet by sewing up the empty holes of the SuperDuos on the opposite side.
    Finish by adding clasps or a button for closure, sewing through seed beads for attachment.
