    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Thread and Add a Stop Bead: Cut a length of thread and thread your needle. Pick up one 8/0 seed bead as your stop bead, passing the needle back through the bead to secure. Start the Base of the Tree Structure: Add one 15/0, one 8/0 in brown (trunk color), and repeat this sequence. Loop back through the stop bead and initial beads to secure the base layer. Begin Stacking the Tree Layers: Use 11/0 seed beads in green to form the branches. Add an Ava bead by threading through the top point, adding two 11/0 green seed beads on either side to form branches. Create Additional Trees and Connect Layers: Repeat the beading pattern, adjusting length for your desired bracelet size. Stack trees by connecting 8/0 beads and adding branches. Decorate with Garland and Ornaments: Use 2-3 mm crystals and pearls to add decorative elements. Position garlands by stringing between tree sections, alternating crystals and seed beads. Finish with a Clasp: Attach an antique copper clasp by threading additional beads on both ends. Secure with multiple thread passes to ensure durability.
