    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare your materials and thread two needles with approximately five feet of beading thread.
    Start by attaching the cup button with three 11/0 seed beads, a 2-hole bar bead, and the cup button itself, then create the base for the first tulip.
    Construct the tulip using crescent beads for the outer petals and 2-hole bar beads for the inner detail, secured with 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads for added texture and contrast.
    Link each tulip together with crystal rondelle beads, repeating the process to achieve the desired bracelet length.
    Finish the bracelet by creating a loop with seed beads for the clasp mechanism.
    Secure and trim the thread ends with a thread burner, applying a dab of glue for extra security.

    I watched several "how to" videos, which answered questions I had and decided to shop.  I purchased items from the videos and look forward to using them.

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