  1. Please watch our video, How to Do a Cellini Spiral in Bead Weaving.
  2. Burn or cut off a length of beading thread that you are comfortable working with.
  3. Pick up your first row in this order: Four 15/0 White, Two 11/0 Green, Two 11/0 Gold, Two 8/0 Green, Two 11/0 Gold, Two 11/0 Green.
  4. Tie a double overhand knot. Take your needle and go through the two white 15/0 beads. You are now ready to begin your bead weaving as seen in the video.
  5. As you work you will need to tie and add more thread.
  6. Weave until you have your desired size. Make sure that the inner circumference is wide enough to fit over your hand.
  7. To finish this bangle, you will "zip" up the seams. You can see this technique in this video here. You will need to align the beads in the pattern. Once you have done so, zip up the bead weaving in a seamless join.
  8. Tie off and weave in your thread.
  9. Burn or cut off your thread.
  10. All done!
