    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare a 5-foot piece of Wildfire beading thread, doubling it and threading two needles.
    Start the right-angle weave by threading one Rulla bead followed by an 11/0 seed bead, repeating until you have four Rulla beads separated by 11/0 seed beads.
    Create the base of the bracelet by continuously adding Rulla and 11/0 seed beads, following the right-angle weave pattern.
    After reaching the desired length, double the bracelet over and connect the two layers to form the Greek cross pattern.
    Attach the button clasp using seed beads and the remaining thread, ensuring it is secure.
    Finish by weaving in and cutting any excess thread, and applying a small amount of glue to the knots for extra security.
