To measure the length of the bracelet you need, measure your hand at the widest point, where the fingers meet the hand, bending the thumb inwards. The length obtained will give you the length of the thread to be made.

We start this bracelet with the center line containing the bicones, so that they're evenly distributed throughout the bracelet.
You need to thread an even number of beads. Take about 2 meters of thread to start with. Thread the beads in the following order until you reach the required length (here 19cm): 3 gold miyuki, 1 bicone, 3 gold miyuki and 3 colored (you must end your thread with 3 colored).

Thread through the first golden bead to create the ring. The thread should emerge on the opposite side.

Start your row of classic peyote, to place your first bead, skip the first golden bead.

Pass your needle through the following 3 ( 1 golden miyuki, 1 bicone, 1 golden miyuki)

Continue with your classic peyote, then repeat the operation with each bicone.

To complete your first row, thread a blue bead, then pass through the 2 gold beads on your way up to start your new row.

Start this new row by threading 5 golden beads around your spinning top, then pass through the first golden miyuki that comes along.

Continue with classic peyote, then repeat for each bicone. (The first 2 or 3 rows tend to spin, so be careful when placing the beads).

To complete this row, slip on a blue bead, skip the first golden bead and move on to the next 6 to start your new row.

Start this row in classic peyote, arrive at the first bicone, skip the first golden miyuki and move on to the next 5.

Repeat this step all the way around the bracelet.

Finish this row, skipping the first golden miyuki and working your way up through the next 4.

Start the new row as normal, then with each bicone, skip the first golden miyuki and move on to the next 3.

Finish your row by skipping the first golden miyuki, then work your way up through the next two.

Start your new row, and with each bicone, skip the first golden one and go only into the middle one.

Continue the previous step along the entire length.

To finish this row, skip the first gold and then move up the next two rows (here one gold, one blue) to start the new row.

Weave in classic peyote to the desired width, always ending your row by passing through 2 beads on the way up, so that you can start a new row.

Follow the same steps on the other side, and your bangle bracelet (ring without clasp) is finished. If you wish to make it a little stiffer, you can apply a coat of varnish around the inside.
