Quick Project Steps

Thread your needle with 0.8 Wildfire beading thread, attaching a stop bead, leaving about 10 inches for the clasp.
Start the bracelet with a pattern of one Rulla bead, one 11/0 seed bead, and another Rulla bead.
Add two 11/0 seed beads for the sides, creating a V pattern by going through the top hole of the adjoining Rulla bead.
Continue this pattern, alternating between adding the Rulla and seed bead pattern and the side seed beads.
For the toggle bar, line up six Rulla beads and secure them with 11/0 seed beads at the ends.
Reinforce the toggle bar by threading through the beads multiple times.
Create a loop on the other end of the bracelet large enough for the toggle, using 11/0 seed beads and reinforcing with a Peyote stitch.
