    Quick Project Steps

    Start with about 5 feet of size 6 Dragonthread and a stop bead. Begin the bracelet with a pattern of superduo beads, a gemstone, two superduos, another gemstone, and then seed beads. Follow the herringbone stitch technique to weave the beads together, creating the bracelet's body. Add cup buttons at one end of the bracelet for closure. Create loops with seed beads at the other end to secure the cup buttons. Reinforce the bracelet by threading through the beads again. Finish by tying off the thread ends and burning them down for a neat look.

    The pull-down menu under the "learn about" tab for "bead patterns" did not work, so I could not shop for patterns this time.
