Making sure the Tipp beads are facing up, thread your needle through the left stringing hole of a Czech glass 8mm matte metallic antique brass 2-hole Tipp bead and through the right hole of a Czech glass 8mm Halo celestial blue 2-hole Tipp bead. Repeat this pattern 11 times, then add one gold Tipp bead to the thread.

Go through the second stringing hole of the last gold Tipp bead added and then fill in the gaps on the other side of the gold Tipp beads by adding a blue Tipp bead. Go through the second stringing hole of the next gold Tipp bead. Repeat until you reach the last gold Tipp bead on the end. Secure your thread by knotting it to an existing thread and weaving through the beads to hide the knot.

Add a new thread by weaving through the existing beads and knotting here and there. Exit out of a gold Tipp bead on the end.

Add one fire-polished 2mm bead in matte metallic antique gold to the thread, followed by one fire-polished 2mm bead in bronze and another matte metallic gold bead. Go through the second stringing hole of the next blue Tipp bead in the pattern. Repeat this step to fill in the gaps on one edge of the bracelet.

Thread through the adjacent stringing hole of the gold Tipp bead on the end of the bracelet and then go up through the second stringing hole, so your thread is positioned on the other edge of the bracelet. Repeat the last step for this side of the bracelet. Knot your thread to secure.

Add a new thread and position it so that it is exiting out of the gold Tipp bead on the end of the bracelet. Add one bronze fire-polished bead to the thread, followed by two matte metallic gold beads. Loop your thread around the loop component of the TierraCast gold-plated pewter makers toggle set several times, then add two matte metallic gold beads and a bronze bead to the thread. Go through the other stringing hole of the gold Tipp bead and loop around up through the other stringing hole and back up through the first bronze bead. Add a matte metallic gold bead to the thread and go down through the other bronze bead and the other stringing hole of the gold Tipp bead. Loop your thread through these beads several times for a more secure hold. Knot and secure your thread.

Repeat the previous step on the other end of the bracelet. You may want to add more fire-polished beads before looping around the bar component of the clasp set, in order to ensure the bar fits through the loop and that the bracelet is the desired length.

Note:
If the weave of your bracelet seems loose, you can weave another thread through the outside edges or through the entire bracelet to strengthen the weave.
