    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Collect the necessary materials: 36 PieDuo beads, 325 Miyuki 11/0 seed beads, 73 Miyuki 15/0 seed beads, a cup button, and 6-8 feet of Dragonthread 8. Step 1 - Create the Base: Thread a needle with a small amount of Dragonthread. Start by picking up a PieDuo bead (through the inner edge) and add three 11/0 seed beads. Continue threading PieDuo beads and 11/0 beads in a sequence until you reach the desired length. Step 2 - Attach the Cup Button: Add five 11/0 beads to the needle and pass through the outer hole of the last PieDuo. Thread through the cup button, adding 15/0 beads on the inside, and secure by passing back through the seed beads and the PieDuo. Step 3 - Add the Loop for the Clasp: Create a loop on the opposite end by adding 11/0 and 15/0 beads in a pattern to match the cup button size. Pass the thread through the loop multiple times for reinforcement. Step 4 - Embellish the Bracelet: Add a decorative edge by threading additional seed beads between the PieDuo beads, covering the thread paths. Ensure all beads are securely in place and check for any loose threads. Final Step - Secure and Finish: Secure all loose ends by tying knots and burning off excess thread. Check the bracelet for fit and make any necessary adjustments.
