    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare a wide-eye needle with 0.006 Wildfire beading thread, leaving a 6-inch tail.
    Start by stringing three Tila beads, mixing colors as desired but avoiding identical adjacent colors.
    Sew through the beads to form the base of your bracelet, adding a stop bead to secure the end.
    Continue adding rows of Tila beads, using a methodical pattern to ensure tight, even placement.
    To add the clasp, incorporate 15/0 beads and a lampwork bead, securing with additional 8/0 beads.
    For trimming, use a combination of 15/0 beads, teardrops, and 8/0 beads, attaching them along the sides of the Tila beads for decoration.
