Quick Project Steps

Thread your needle with 0.8 Wildfire beading thread, attaching a stop bead, leaving about 10 inches for the clasp.
Start the bracelet with a pattern of one Rulla bead, one 11/0 seed bead, and another Rulla bead.
Add two 11/0 seed beads for the sides, creating a V pattern by going through the top hole of the adjoining Rulla bead.
Continue this pattern, alternating between adding the Rulla and seed bead pattern and the side seed beads.
For the toggle bar, line up six Rulla beads and secure them with 11/0 seed beads at the ends.
Reinforce the toggle bar by threading through the beads multiple times.
Create a loop on the other end of the bracelet large enough for the toggle, using 11/0 seed beads and reinforcing with a Peyote stitch.

I love everything about Potomac beads, except for the dragon fire white thread. I bought the time before it was a 250 spool and I bought 5 pound because the 6 pound I had was just humongous you've done some changing with your threads since the last time I bought some. I fell and broke my right arm and my rotator cuff and wasn't able to be for quite a while. I just pulled out the 5 pound white thread. I bought the time before and tried it. I don't even think I could bezel with it. The 6 pound does beautiful. I took one arm span of thread off the spool and I won't be using it. It's a shame because I truly love yours thread.
