    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: SS12 Montees. RounDuo beads. 8/0 and 15/0 seed beads in complementary colors. Dragon Thread (5 feet). Size 11 beading needles. Decorative clasp. Set Up the Thread: Attach a stop bead to your thread, leaving a 6-inch tail. Decorate the RounDuo Beads: String a RounDuo bead, followed by 15/0, 8/0, and another 15/0 seed bead. Loop back through the second hole of the RounDuo. Repeat on the opposite side with the same seed bead pattern. Build the Base with Right-Angle Weave (RAW): Create RAW units using 8/0 beads to form the bracelet's structure. Connect RounDuo beads and seed beads to complete the base. Reinforce the Structure: Thread through the RAW units and beads multiple times to tighten and secure the base. Add Montees in an X-Pattern: Use 15/0 seed beads to attach the Montees over the RounDuo beads. Thread 15/0 beads, a Montee, and more 15/0 beads to form an X-pattern. Securely connect the Montees to the second hole of the RounDuo beads. Attach the Clasp: Add 15/0 and 8/0 seed beads to attach the clasp securely. Reinforce the connection by threading through multiple times. Finalize the Bracelet: Tighten all threads, trim excess, and adjust bead placement.
