How many beads do you need for a rotating Kandi cuff?

Put one white bead through both string ends. Put one white bead on one end, one white bead on the other. Do the last two steps again. Now put one black bead on the same side of string as the first black bead, and a white one on the other string. Put a white bead through both string ends.
How do you make a Kandi bracelet with beads?
Slide 3 beads onto the long string, and then pull the string through the adjacent bead in the first row. Add another 3 beads, and tuck the string through the next bead in the first row. Continue this process until you’ve worked all the way around the bracelet, and then pull the string tight to secure it. Add the third row.
