    Quick Project Steps

    Begin with attaching a stop bead to your beading thread.
    String six SuperDuo beads, alternating with 11/0 seed beads, to start the base of the bracelet.
    Sew through all beads again to form a circle, stepping up by transitioning through the top hole of a SuperDuo bead.
    Continue adding SuperDuo beads by passing through the top hole of the next bead in the circle, ensuring the pattern takes on a tubular shape.
    To finish, replace SuperDuo beads with 11/0 seed beads in the final row to tighten the end. Attach bead caps and your choice of clasp for closure.
