1. Prepare your materials: Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary materials on hand. Organize your Rulla beads, 11/0 and 8/0 Miyuki seed beads, thread, and clasp that you will be using. If you wish, you can select a color combination that suits your style or follow a specific design.
2. Initial assembly: Begin by threading the doubled thread through the loop at one end of the toggle clasp. This will create the starting point for your bracelet. Secure the thread with a double knot to prevent it from slipping through the clasp.
3. Stringing the Rulla Beads: Once the thread is secured to the clasp, begin stringing the Rulla beads. To do this, thread the thread through one of the holes of a Rulla bead and then through the other hole, so that the bead is in the center of the thread. Repeat this process with each bead, making sure they are aligned in the desired order.
4. Adding 11/0 seed beads: After stringing each Rulla bead, add two 11/0 seed beads to each end of the thread. These seed beads will act as spacers between the beads and add an extra pop of color to your bracelet.
5. Continue stringing: Repeat the process of stringing Rulla beads and adding 11/0 seed beads until you reach the desired length for your bracelet. Make sure to distribute the beads and seed beads evenly to achieve a balanced design.
6. Finishing: Once you have reached your desired length, thread the thread through the loop on the other end of the toggle clasp and tie a double knot to secure it in place. Cut off the excess thread, leaving about half a centimetre of length for the knot to be secure. Then, use a threading needle to hide the ends of the thread inside the Rulla beads, making sure they are well hidden for a clean, professional finish.
