    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather kite beads in three colors and 15/0 seed beads. Cut a 5-foot length of beading thread, threading it through a size 10 needle, adding a stop bead at the end.
    Base Pattern Creation: String kite beads in your chosen color pattern, focusing on the short side of the beads for the initial row.
    Building the Pixelated Design: Switch to adding beads through the longer, narrow side, incorporating 15/0 seed beads as connectors between kite beads. Alternate colors according to your pattern.
    Adding the Clasp: Once the desired length is achieved, add the two-strand clasp at both ends of the bracelet, using 15/0 seed beads to integrate the clasp seamlessly.
    Finishing Touches: Work back through the bracelet, adding 15/0 seed beads between the outer holes of the kite beads to solidify the design and reinforce the clasp.
    Final Inspection and Adjustment: Ensure the bracelet fits comfortably and make any necessary adjustments. Tie off and burn down excess thread.
