Quick Project Steps
Prepare Your Materials:
Gather seed beads in sizes 15, 11, and 8, Iris Duos, 4mm bicones, a button, a size 11 needle, and beading thread.
Start the Right Angle Weave:
Create the first unit by stringing seed beads and a 4mm crystal, then tie them into a loop, leaving a long thread tail for the clasp.
Add the First Iris Duo Cluster:
Attach six Iris Duos, separated by 8/0 seed beads, to the right angle weave unit, ensuring all Iris Duos face the same direction.
Embellish and Define:
Adorn the Iris Duo cluster with 4mm crystals and 15/0 seed beads, creating a cascading effect around the Iris Duos.
Connect and Repeat:
Form the next connection by repeating the right angle weave pattern, continuing to build the bracelet to your desired length.
Attach the Button:
Securely fasten your chosen button to one end of the bracelet using seed beads and reinforcing the thread.
Create the Button Loop:
On the opposite end, form a loop of 11/0 seed beads large enough to fit your button, and reinforce it by stitching through multiple times.
Finish with a Secure Knot:
Conclude the project by tying a tight sewer's knot to secure your thread, then trim and melt the thread end for a clean finish.
