    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather all beads, thread, needle, and other materials listed.
    Start with a Stop Bead: Add a stop bead to your thread to prevent beads from slipping off.
    Lay Out Your Pattern: Begin with an ABCD pattern for your beads, starting with two white, two red, followed by four white, and four red.
    Begin Tubular Peyote Stitch: Thread the beads onto your needle according to the pattern and start the peyote stitch, adding beads to create the tubular form.
    Work on the Bracelet Body: Continue with the stitch, following the candy cane pattern, and add more thread as needed.
    Attach the Clasp: Once the body of the bracelet is complete, finish the ends with 15/0 beads to taper and attach the Potomac Crystal Button for the clasp.

    Lots of problems finding the beads I wanted to order. Checkout site refused to scroll back so I could learn what I didn't complete. Online site does not appear to be user-friendly. I have trouble nearly every time I try to order from Potomac.
