Start with two yards of thread and leave a long tail for the clasp. Thread a CzechMates glass 6mm purple iris two-hole tile bead, followed by a Miyuki 11/0 light topaz luster pale blue-lined round seed bead, a Rizo 2.5x6mm Czech glass peridot vitrail bead and another Miyuki seed bead. Bring your needle through the second stringing hole of the tile bead and then add another tile bead. Go through the second hole of the previous tile bead again, making sure that the two tile beads line up next to each other.
Go back through the first stringing hole of the second tile bead.
Add a Miyuki seed bead, a Rizo bead and another Miyuki seed bead. Go through the second stringing hole of the second tile bead. Repeat the process of adding tile beads, seed beads and Rizos until the bracelet is the desired length.
Add a Miyuki seed bead and a tile bead to the thread. Add a Miyuki seed bead, a Rizo bead and another Miyuki seed bead to the thread and go through the second stringing hole of the tile bead. Add another Miyuki seed bead to the thread, then bring your needle through the stringing hole of the tile bead underneath it. Now, you need to go through the next tile bead in this row. Bring your needle through the stringing hole of the previous tile bead in the row, making sure not to go through the seed bead above it.
Add a Miyuki seed bead to the thread, followed by another tile bead. Bring your needle through the stringing hole of the last tile bead you added, the seed bead under it and the tile bead under that.
Go through the stringing hole of the next tile bead in this row and all of the beads below it. Once your needle is coming out of the tile bead on the other side of the bracelet, add a Miyuki seed bead, a Rizo bead and another Miyuki seed bead and go through the next stringing hole on the tile bead. Go through all of the stringing holes below it, until you are exiting the tile bead on the other side of the bracelet. Bring your needle through the stringing hole of the next tile bead in the row. Repeat steps four through six until you reach the end of the bracelet.
When you reach the beginning of the bracelet and add your last Miyuki seed bead, make a knot in your thread.
After making a knot, go through the left hole of the top tile bead, skipping the seed bead below it. Then, go up through the seed bead at the top of the hole.
For the added purple seed bead decoration, add a purple seed bead to the thread, then go down through the next seed bead on the edge and all of the stringing holes below it, until your needle is exiting through the corresponding Miyuki seed bead on the other side of the bracelet.
Add a purple seed bead to the thread and go back through the seed bead to the right of it (toward the end of the bracelet) and all of the stringing holes below it until your needle is exiting through the corresponding Miyuki seed bead on the other side of the bracelet.
Go back through the purple seed bead on this side and back down through all of the stringing holes to the left of it, until you reach the other side of the bracelet.
Go through the next Rizo bead and the next Miyuki seed bead on the edge of the bracelet. Then, go down through the stringing holes of the beads below it until you reach the other side of the bracelet. Repeat steps 9 through eleven to decorate both edges of the bracelet with purple beads.
Secure half of the JBB antique vintage brass-plated pewter leaf and flower hook and eye clasp to the seed bead at the end of the bracelet between the two tile beads. Loop around the clasp and the seed bead several times for a secure hold. Finish the thread and repeat on the other end of the bracelet.
