    Quick Project Steps

    Start the Center Base: Thread a stop bead and leave a 6–8" tail. Pick up: 1 × 11/0 → 1 × RoundTrio (center hole) → 1 × 11/0. Repeat this sequence until you reach the desired bracelet length (usually 9–11 RounTrios). This creates the center base strip. Add Side Embellishments (First Side): Move your needle through a side hole of the first RounTrio. Between each RounTrio, add: 1 × 11/0 → 1 × 2×3mm rondelle → 1 × 11/0. Stitch through the next side hole of the RounTrio and repeat. Continue down the entire first side of the bracelet. Create the Button Clasp: Exit the final RounTrio. Pick up ~22 × 11/0 seed beads to form a loop. Skip the last few beads and go back through the others and the base to create a secure loop for the cut button. Reinforce the loop by passing through all beads again. Add Second Side Embellishments: Return through the center and exit the opposite side hole of the first RounTrio. Repeat the same embellishment pattern as Side 1: 11/0 → rondelle → 11/0 between RounTrios. Continue down the length of the bracelet. Attach the Button: On the tail end, exit from the first RounTrio. Pick up 2 × 11/0s, 1 × cut button, 2 × 11/0s. Go back through the RounTrio and reinforce by passing through multiple times. Reinforce and Finish: Weave through the bracelet, reinforcing all thread paths (especially at clasp and embellishments). Tie half-hitch knots between beads. Trim or burn any excess thread.
