    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather all beads and cut approximately 5 feet of thread, attaching a needle to each end.
    Start with Button Clasp: Add the cup button to the thread, followed by Super8 beads and seed beads for decoration.
    Begin Beadwork: Alternate between Mini Silky and Regular Silky beads, adding Super8 and seed beads in between for structure.
    Main Pattern: Follow the specific pattern of adding Demi Round and seed beads around the Silky beads, ensuring the bump side is up for texture.

    Closing the Bracelet: Create a loop with seed beads for the button clasp and reinforce the loop.
    Edge Stitching: Add decorative edge stitching along the bracelet for a finished look.
