    Prepare Materials: Gather cat's eye beads, Swarovski crystals, Miyuki seed beads, toggle clasp, beading needle, and thread.
    Start with Core Beads: Add a stop bead to your thread, then string two cat's eye beads as the bracelet's core.
    Adding the Spiral: For each side, add five seed beads, one crystal, and five more seed beads. Sew back through the core beads to form the spiral.
    Continue the Pattern: Add one core bead at a time, repeating the spiral addition on each side.
