Although I use two colors of SuperDuo beads in my instructions,
you can use as few or as many different colors as you wish. As such,
SuperDuo mixes can be a lot of fun for this design. Bead details for the photo below at the end of the page.

MATERIALS (for a 7-inch bracelet, not including clasp)
• 3 yards of 6 lb. FireLine (or threading material of your choice)
• About 250 size 11/0 seed beads
• About 22 Color1 SuperDuo beads
• About 22 Color2 SuperDuo beads
• About 12 size 6mm Czech Tile beads
• clasp

Step 1: Thread your needle with a length of FireLine that you feel comfortable working with and add more as you need it.

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

NOTE: You will not be making a knot until Step 6 so keep the tension tight and hold onto this tail thread for now.

Step 2: String a seed bead, a Color1 SuperDuo bead, a Color2 SuperDuo bead, a Color1 SuperDuo bead, a seed bead and another Tile bead:

Step 3: Go around and down through the left side of the Tile bead that you just exited:

Step 4: String a seed bead. Go down through the left hole of the Color1 SuperDuo bead highlighted in RED:

Step 5: String a Color2 SuperDuo bead. Go down through the left hole of the Color1 SuperDuo bead below (highlighted in RED):

Step 6: String a seed bead. Grab your tail thread and tie a tight double knot:

Step 7: Go down through the left hole of the bottom Tile bead, around and up through the right hole of this same Tile bead and then up through the seed bead above (highlighted in RED):

Step 8: Go back up through the right hole of the Color1 SuperDuo bead, the left hole of
the Color2 SuperDuo bead, the right hole of the Color1 SuperDuo bead, the seed bead
and the right hole of the Tile bead highlighted in RED.

Continue around and down through the left hole of this same Tile bead and then through the seed bead below (highlighted in RED):

Step 9: String two seed beads. Go down through the left hole of the Color2 SuperDuo bead below (highlighted in RED):

Step 10: String two seed beads. Go down through the seed bead, the left hole of the bottom Tile bead, around and up through the right hole of this same Tile bead and then up through the seed bead highlighted in RED:

Step 11: String two seed beads. Go up through the right hole of the Color2 SuperDuo bead highlighted in RED:

Step 12: String two seed beads. Go up through the seed bead and the right hole of the Tile bead above (highlighted in RED):

Step 13: String a seed bead, a Color1 SuperDuo bead, a Color2 SuperDuo bead, a Color1 SuperDuo bead, a seed bead and another Tile bead. Go around and back down through the left hole of the Tile bead that you just added:

Step 14: String a seed bead. Go down through the left hole of the Color1 SuperDuo bead highlighted in RED:

Step 15: String a Color2 SuperDuo bead. Go down through the left hole of the Color1 SuperDuo bead below (highlighted in RED):

Step 16: String a seed bead. Go back down through the left hole of Tile bead below (highlighted in RED) and then around and back up through the right hole of this same Tile bead and the seed bead above it (also highlighted in RED):

Step 17: Go back up through the right hole of the Color1 SuperDuo bead, the left hole of
the Color2 SuperDuo bead, the right hole of the Color1 SuperDuo bead, the seed bead
and the right hole of the Tile bead highlighted in RED.

Continue around and down through the left hole of this same Tile bead and then through the seed bead below (highlighted in RED):

Step 18: String two seed beads. Go down through the left hole of the Color2 SuperDuo bead highlighted in RED:

Step 19: String two seed beads. Go down through the seed bead, the left hole of the Tile bead below, around and up through the right hole of this same Tile bead and then up through the seed bead highlighted in RED:

Step 20: String two seed beads. Go up through the right hole of the Color2 SuperDuo bead highlighted in RED:

Step 21: String two seed beads. Go up through the seed bead and the right hole of the Tile bead above (highlighted in RED):

Step 22: Repeat Step 13 to Step 21 until your bracelet is the length you want it, minus about a quarter-inch and the length of your clasp:

Before you add the seed beads along the outer edges of the Tile beads (Step 27 to 35), add your clasp.

Step 23: To attach one end of the clasp, string two seed beads. Go through the clasp and then back through the second seed bead that you just strung:

NOTE: To make your bracelet longer, just add more seed beads than directed in this step and the next.

Step 24: String a seed bead. Go down through the left hole of the Tile bead, around and up through the right hole of this same Tile bead highlighted in RED:

Step 25: Go back around through the beads highlighted in RED and the clasp twice:

Do not cut your tail thread. You will use it to add seed beads along the edge of the Tile beads after you add your clasp to the other end of your bracelet next.

Step 26: Attach your clasp to the other end of your bracelet. Thread your needle with the tail thread from Step 1. Go up through the right hole of the end Tile bead (highlighted in RED) and repeat Step 23 to 25:

Weave back into the bracelet, knot in several places and then cut this tail thread.

Step 27: Thread your needle with the tail thread from Step 25 (or add more thread if you need to). Go across through the two seed beads above the top Tile bead (highlighted in RED):

Step 28: String six seed beads (or more if needed) and go down through the two seed beads, the Color2 SuperDuo bead and the two seed beads highlighted in RED:

Step 29: String five seed beads and go down through the two seed beads, the Color2 SuperDuo bead and the two seed beads highlighted in RED.

NOTE: Not all size 11/0 seed bead brands are the same size. As such, if five seed beads tend to bulge or buckle, add four seed beads instead in this step and similar steps.

Step 30: Repeat Step 30 until you get to the end of the bracelet:

Step 31: String six seed beads (or more if needed). Go through the seed beads below the bottom Tile bead (highlighted in RED):

Step 32: String six seed beads (or more if needed). Go up through the two seed beads, the Color2 SuperDuo bead and the two seed beads highlighted in RED:

Step 33: String five seed beads and go up through the two seed beads, the Color2 SuperDuo bead and the two seed beads highlighted in RED:

Step 34: Repeat Step 33 until you get to the end of the bracelet:

Step 35: String six seed beads (or more if needed). Go across through the seed beads highlighted in RED:

Weave back into the bracelet, knot in several places and then cut your thread.
