Quick Project Steps

Prepare Materials: Gather all beads, thread, needles, and clasp as listed.
Thread Needles: Cut a length of thread and thread both needles, tying a knot to secure them together.

Start Beading: Begin with threading seed beads and your first 2-Hole Cabochon, following the pattern for symmetrical bead placement.
Create Ribbon Effect: Introduce SuperDuos and crystal rondelles, alternating sides to create the ribbon effect across the bracelet.
Add Finishing Touches: Continue beading, following the pattern until the desired bracelet length is achieved. Attach the other side of the clasp.

I find it difficult to navigate the pages. When I am looking for something specific, there is not a place for me to simply type in what I am looking for.

I've been a professional beader for around 25 years. Your website and tutorials are simply the best. Well done! Don't change. Not happy with purchase of 3mm round crystal AB nor the 14mm and 18mm rivolis. Poor quality crystals. Dull.
