Gather your materials: seed beads (11/0, 15/0, or 8/0), beading thread, beading needle, clasp, and scissors.
Thread your needle with a comfortable length of beading thread and tie a knot at the end.
Create a small loop with a few seed beads and secure it with a knot to form the starting point.
Begin the spiral rope stitch by adding alternating sets of seed beads and looping the thread around the previous rows.
Continue stitching until your bracelet reaches the desired length, periodically checking the fit around your wrist.
Finish the bracelet by weaving the thread back through several rows to secure it, then trim any excess thread.
Attach your chosen clasp to each end of the bracelet using jump rings or directly stitching it onto the ends.
Your beautiful beaded bracelet is now ready to wear or gift!
