Quick Project Steps
Prepare Materials: Gather 8/0 and 11/0 seed beads, 4mm crystals, bugle beads, and a clasp.
Begin Right-Angle Weave (RAW): Start with two rows of RAW using seed beads. Create small "blocks" by threading through beads to form units.
Connect the Two Rows: Seam the two rows together by adding beads between the vertical beads of each RAW unit.
Add Embellishments: Use 8/0 seed beads and 4mm crystals to embellish the connection points between the rows.
Attach the Clasp: Secure the clasp by threading through beads, adding seed beads as needed for reinforcement.
Finish the Bracelet: Reinforce the clasp by threading through the beads multiple times and tying off the thread securely.
Burn Thread Ends: Use a thread zapper to burn off any remaining thread ends.
