Step 1: Thread your needle with about 2.25 yards of FireLine.

Leaving about a 10-inch tail for attaching the clasp, hold onto your tail thread and go down the left side of a SuperDuo bead and then around and up through the right side of this same SuperDuo bead:

String two 11/0 seed beads, a two-hole bead, two 11/0 seed beads and a SuperDuo bead:

Go around and down through the left hole of the SuperDuo bead that you just strung:

String two 11/0 seed beads. Go down through the left hole of the two-hole bead highlighted in RED:

String two 11/0 seed beads. Grab your tail thread and tie a tight double knot:

Step 2: Go down through the left hole of the bottom SuperDuo bead, around and up through the right hole of this same SuperDuo bead.

Continue on up through the two 11/0 seed beads, the two-hole bead, the two 11/0 seed beads and the right hole of the top SuperDuo bead highlighted in RED:

Step 9: Repeat Step 3 to Step 8 until your bracelet is the length you want it, minus about a quarter-inch and the length of your clasp:

Step 21: Repeat Step 18 to Step 20 until you come to the end of the bracelet:

NOTE: If you don’t like the “peaks” (they can be too wobbly for some), skip Step 22 to Step 25. Just make sure that you exit from the right hole of the top SuperDuo bead to attach the clasp in Step 26 to Step 29.

Step 22: Go around through the beads highlighted in RED:

Step 23: String an 11/0 seed bead, an 8/0 seed bead and an 11/0 seed bead. Go around the SuperDuo bead and down through the 11/0 seed beads highlighted in RED to form a peak:

Repeat Steps 26-29.
