Quick Project Steps
Prepare Your Materials: Cut about 36 inches of Wildfire beading thread and attach a needle to each end. Slide on the clasp loop and reinforce by passing through again.
Start the Pattern: Add an 8/0 seed bead through both needles, forming the beginning of the zigzag. Separate the needles, adding one 8/0 seed bead to each, and drop them next to the clasp.
Add Rulla Beads: Introduce a Rulla bead, passing one needle through the top hole and the other through the bottom. This begins the zigzag pattern.
Create the Zigzag: Alternately add an 8/0 seed bead and a drop bead sequence (8/0, drop, 8/0) on one side and a single 8/0 seed bead on the other. Repeat this pattern, switching sides to form the zigzag.
Finishing Touches: Once the bracelet reaches the desired length, repeat the beginning steps in reverse to attach the second part of the clasp. Secure and cut the thread.
