    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather 11/0 seed beads, 8mm Czech glass beads, and 4mm pearls or crystals. Start with a Stop Bead: Add a stop bead to your thread for a starting point. Initial Weaving: Thread a 4mm bead, followed by an 8mm bead, then loop around with another 4mm bead. Create Outer Loop: Add a loop of 4mm crystals for an external bling, beginning and ending with an 11/0 seed bead. Weave Pattern: Continue the weaving pattern, alternating between the bead sizes, creating a snaking effect. Adding Clasps: Upon reaching the desired length, attach the clasp using an 11/0 bead and reinforce it for durability. Finishing Touches: Ensure there are no twists in the bracelet and the clasp is secured properly. Completion: Tie off and burn the thread ends to complete your woven glass bracelet.
