    Quick Project Steps

    Begin: Start by threading 15 Delica beads with a stop bead at the end. Square Stitch Expansion: Use the square stitch technique to add more rows, ensuring to slide each row into the bead holder as you progress. Herringbone Stitch: Transition to the herringbone stitch using four different colors of 11/0 Miyuki seed beads, following a random mosaic pattern. Completing the Design: Continue to expand the bracelet by adding more herringbone stitched strands and occasional simple stringing sections. Finishing Touches: Secure the strands using the Delica end elements, add clasps using jump rings, and adjust the length as necessary.
