    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: 6mm pearls. 4mm bicones or crystals. 11/0 and 15/0 Miyuki seed beads in two colors. Dragon Thread (size 8). Two-strand clasp. Size 10 needle. Set Up the Thread: Attach a stop bead to your Dragon Thread, leaving a 10-inch tail for later. Start Right-Angle Weave (RAW): String 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads, followed by a 4mm bicone, and repeat the seed bead pattern. Loop the thread to create the first right-angle weave unit. Add Pearls and Fringe: Add a 6mm pearl in the next unit. Create fringe using alternating 15/0 and 11/0 beads to decorate each side of the pearl. Secure the fringe by threading back through the beads and pearl. Continue the Pattern: Alternate between pearls and bicones, repeating the right-angle weave technique. Ensure consistent tension for a symmetrical design. Attach the Clasp: Create loops of seed beads on both ends of the bracelet to attach the two-strand clasp. Reinforce the connection by threading through the clasp and seed beads multiple times. Finalize and Adjust: Tighten the threads and ensure all beads are aligned. Securely tie off the thread and trim the excess. Customize Your Design: Experiment with bead colors, sizes, or different clasp styles for a personalized look.

    When you are looking at your cart, it would be helpful if the back button would put you back on the same page in the search results that you last were on. Instead, it has you go back to page 1 in your search. I always have to remember which page I was on when I want to view my cart. I go back and forth quite often, and it is annoying. Also, I was looking for storm duos in a real red, a real dark blue, and a dark teal. Didn't find any of those colors. I look for these colors a lot in purchasing other types of beads, too, and your site doesn't offer very many choices if any at all.
