    Quick Project Steps

    Start with laying out your materials and preparing your beading needle with thread.
    Begin the bracelet with a base layer of rondelles and bricks, using a stop bead to prevent beads from falling off.
    Introduce AVA beads into the design, alternating with the bricks to create the mountain peak effect.
    Add seed beads along the sides for detail and structure.
    Continue the pattern, creating layers and adding complexity to the bracelet design.
    Finish by adding a clasp and securing the ends of the bracelet for a polished look.
