    Quick Project Steps

    Preparing Materials: Gather all necessary materials and thread your needle with approximately six feet of beading thread, securing it with a stop bead.
    Starting the Pattern: Begin with an even count peyote stitch using six beads in a two-blue, two-crystal, two-blue pattern.
    Building the Chevron: Add beads to create diagonal lines, alternating between blue and crystal to form the chevron (zigzag) pattern.
    Expanding the Design: Continue the peyote stitch, expanding the chevron design across the desired length of the bracelet.
    Adding the Clasp: Once the main pattern is complete, attach the cup button at one end and create a loop with seed beads at the other end for closure.
    Finishing Touches: Secure the thread with knots, apply a touch of glue for durability, and trim any excess thread.
