Quick Project Steps
Prepare Your Materials: Gather all the beads, thread, needle, leather, and button as listed in the materials section.
Start with the Top Layer: Thread your needle with approximately 4 feet of beading thread. Begin by adding Round Duo beads alternated with two 11/0 seed beads, forming a long strand.
Add Depth with SuperDuo Beads: Introduce SuperDuo beads between the Round Duo beads, using 15/0 and 8/0 seed beads to create a zigzag pattern across the top layer.
Secure the Ends: Assemble the beadwork's ends by adding beads to connect the design securely. Prepare the bracelet for the addition of the leather clasp.
Attach the Clasp: Incorporate the leather into the design, securing it with the pewter button. Ensure the leather is snugly fitted within the beadwork channel.
Final Adjustments: Make any necessary adjustments to ensure the bracelet fits comfortably. Trim any excess leather and ensure all beads and knots are secure.
