    Quick Project Steps

    Prep thread & start anchor: Cut ~4–4½ ft of thread and add a needle to each end. At the midpoint, add a wire guard. Add one 11/0 to each thread, then an 8/0 to just one thread. Cross the other thread through that 8/0 and snug — this forms your starting end. First unit — pearls + RounTrio: Add a 4 mm pearl to each needle. Pass both needles through the outer holes of a RounTrio (ignore the center hole). Add another 4 mm pearl to each needle. Pick up one 8/0 on just one needle; cross the other needle through it and snug. Repeat the unit for length: Keep repeating: (pearl on each) → RounTrio (outer holes, both needles) → (pearl on each) → cross through one 8/0. Build to desired length. As a guide, 11 RounTrio units with wire guards ≈ a 7" bracelet (remember the clasp adds length). Add the ending wire guard: After your last crossed 8/0, add one 11/0 to each thread. Go up through the second wire guard with both needles, then come back down: through the 11/0 you just added, cross the 8/0, and continue through the next pearl on each side. Edge embellishment (Side A): Working down one edge: pick up four 11/0s and stitch along the RounTrio side, then add one 11/0 between the two pearls. Repeat “four on the side, one between pearls” for each segment. Edge embellishment (Side B): Mirror Step 5 on the opposite edge: four 11/0s along the RounTrio side, one 11/0 between pearls, all the way to the end. Secure & finish: At the end, cross one thread through the final 8/0, then tie secure square knots (right-over-left, left-over-right). Trim/burn tails neatly. Attach clasp: Use jump rings to connect your clasp to the wire guards. Done!
