Quick Project Steps
Prepare Your Thread and Add a Stop Bead:
Cut a length of thread and thread your needle.
Pick up one 8/0 seed bead as your stop bead, passing the needle back through the bead to secure.
Start the Base of the Tree Structure:
Add one 15/0, one 8/0 in brown (trunk color), and repeat this sequence.
Loop back through the stop bead and initial beads to secure the base layer.
Begin Stacking the Tree Layers:
Use 11/0 seed beads in green to form the branches.
Add an Ava bead by threading through the top point, adding two 11/0 green seed beads on either side to form branches.
Create Additional Trees and Connect Layers:
Repeat the beading pattern, adjusting length for your desired bracelet size.
Stack trees by connecting 8/0 beads and adding branches.
Decorate with Garland and Ornaments:
Use 2-3 mm crystals and pearls to add decorative elements.
Position garlands by stringing between tree sections, alternating crystals and seed beads.
Finish with a Clasp:
Attach an antique copper clasp by threading additional beads on both ends.
Secure with multiple thread passes to ensure durability.

Of the items I have received, they are well made. The offer of free patterns to subscribe has not panned out, as I have never received them. I have emailed, but have not received a reply. Their ordering system does not work right for these "free" patterns, and I ended up paying for one of them. The "continue to checkout" will only work with the billing address and not the shipping address, so there they all sit, in my orders tab, with just ship to United States on them. They have not even been shipped. There is no way to correct this, and they do not answer my emails.
