    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Cut 5 feet of beading thread, thread the needle, and attach a stop bead to the end.
    Start the Outer Edge: Pick up three 8/0 seed beads, then alternate between your chosen RounDuo® Bead colors and 8/0 seed beads with 11/0 seed beads in between until you have four RounDuo® Beads on your thread.
    Form the Pansy Base: Sew through the beads to form a circle, then add groups of four 11/0 seed beads between the RounDuo® Beads, skipping the RounDuo® Beads themselves to create the pansy's outer petals.
    Adding the Pellet Bead: Position the Pellet bead in the center by threading it in place and securing it with 11/0 seed beads around the RounDuo® Beads.
    Linking Pansy Flowers: Use a ladder stitch to add three 8/0 seed beads between each pansy flower, continuing the pattern for the desired bracelet length.
    Clasp Attachment: Finish the bracelet by adding a Cup Button clasp, secured with seed beads for a cohesive look.
