1. Begin with about 5ft of Wildfire thread. Add five 11/0 seed beads.
2. String through the shank of the button.
3. Add four more 11/0 seed beads.
4. With four 11/0s on each side of the button, pass down through the remaining 11/0 to form a loop.
5. Make an overhand knot.
6. Make a second overhand knot in the opposite direction to form a square knot. Pull tight to secure.
7. Beginning with an 11/0, add four alternating 11/0 and Magatama (MA4) beads. Add two more 11/0 beads after the last Magatama.
8. Add one 8mm Swarovski Crystal Pearl. Turn and go back through all the beads added in step 7.
9. Pull to secure, the 11/0s and MA4s should hug the outside edge of the pearl.
10. Add another set of seed beads (as shown in step 7) and one 8mm pearl.
11. Going from right to left, loop back through the last 11/0 from the previous set, anchoring the two sections together.
12. Pass back through all the 11/0s and MA4s added in step 10.
13. Pull to secure. There should be minimal thread showing between sections.
14. Add another set of beads as shown in step 10. Going from left to right, loop back through the last 11/0 from the previous section.
15. Pass back through the most recently added 11/0s and MA4s.
16. Continue in this way until desired length is reached. A bracelet with 16 pearls will be about 7.25 inches when clasped.
17. String on enough 11/0s to fit around the selected button (approximately 25-30).
18. Make a loop by going back through the last 11/0 from the previous section.
19. Pull to secure.
20. Go back down through the center of the bracelet passing through only the pearls and connecting 11/0 beads.
21. Be sure to follow the same path as the thread already in place.
22. Continue down the length of the bracelet in this way.
23. When the end of the bracelet is reached, exit out of the last pearl.
24. Turn and go back into the nearest loop of 11/0s and MA4s.
25. Knot the tail around the existing thread and next to a MA4 bead.
26. Trim off excess thread.
27. Sew in and trim any other thread tails in the same way.
