    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Cut about 3 feet of Wildfire beading thread, thread a size 10 beading needle, and attach a stop bead.
    Start Beading: Begin with an 8/0 seed bead, followed by two SuperDuo beads, a Miyuki drop, and another 8/0 bead. Repeat this sequence to achieve the desired length, keeping in mind the bracelet will slightly shorten as you progress.
    Add the Clasp: Attach a cup button to one end of the bracelet, using SuperDuo beads to secure it in place.
    Create Peaks: Work through the second holes of the SuperDuo beads, alternating the bead sequence to form peaks along the bracelet.
    Finish the Bracelet: Complete the other end with a loop of 8/0 beads to act as the closure for the cup button clasp.
    Secure and Trim: Remove the stop bead, tie off and secure the threads with knots, and trim any excess.
