Quick Project Steps

Begin by creating the backbone of the bracelet with Miyuki Cube beads using a ladder stitch. Add fringe along the length of the backbone using a combination of seed beads and various accent beads. Create the button shank cover with seed beads, ensuring it fits the button shank perfectly. Attach the button shank cover to one end of the bracelet. On the opposite end, create a loop closure that fits over the button. Reinforce all connections for durability. Finish the bracelet by tidying up any loose threads.
