Quick Project Steps

Prepare Your Materials: Gather all materials and cut about 5 feet of beading thread, attaching a needle at one end and a stop bead at the other.
Start with SuperDuo Beads: Begin the bracelet by threading SuperDuo beads, alternating them with sets of three 15/0 seed beads for side decoration.
Integrate Rulla Beads: Add Rulla beads in a peyote stitch pattern, increasing the width to create the fault line effect.
Incorporate RounDuo Beads: Continue with RounDuo beads, framed by Rulla beads, to accentuate the bracelet's design.
Repeat the Pattern: Continue the pattern of SuperDuo, Rulla, and RounDuo beads until you reach the desired bracelet length.
Finish with Clasp: Complete the bracelet by adding a Cup Button for the clasp and creating a loop with seed beads on the other end for closure.
