1. Put a stop bead onto the thread. Add 8 gold beads. Pick up another gold bead and sew back through bead number 7 towards the stop bead. Skip over bead six and add another gold bead to bead 5. Add another bead to number 3 and number 1. Keep adding beads to each bead that is sticking out in row 2. Sew four rows of gold beads.

2. Watch the Wavy American Flag bracelet tutorial with Allie to see how to create the pattern of the flags.

3. Create a loop out of seed beads to the end of the bracelet, bring the thread into the project and tie off. On the other side, create a short line of seed beads and add a button or pearl for the loop. Bring the thread back through and tie off at the side. Put a dab of glue on the knots and burn off the ends.
