Quick Project Steps
Gather Materials:
African turquoise gemstones. Halo beads for framing gemstones. 8/0 and 11/0 seed beads. 2mm bicones for sparkle. Dragon Thread (size 8). Cup button clasp for closure.
Start the Bracelet Base:
Thread an 8/0 seed bead, Halo bead, and gemstone onto the Dragon Thread. Secure them to create the starting anchor point.
Build Right-Angle Weave (RAW) Units:
Add three 11/0 seed beads, a bicone, and another three seed beads to form the first unit. Repeat this pattern along the bracelet’s length.
Secure the Gemstone:
Thread through the Halo and gemstone multiple times to hold the gemstone firmly in place.
Add Decorative Beads:
Alternate between bicones and seed beads to embellish the bracelet edges. Adjust tension for symmetry and ensure the design lays flat.
Attach the Clasp:
Secure the cup button clasp by looping 11/0 seed beads through the button and creating a reinforced loop on the opposite end for fastening.
Reinforce the Design:
Thread through all beads and connections again to strengthen the structure.
Finish and Trim:
Tie off and trim the excess thread. Check for loose beads or weak spots and reinforce as needed.

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.
Enjoy looking at your selections and finding something unusual.
