Grab some coordinating Czech glass beads, Miyuki 11/0 seed beads, Potomac Crystal bicone beads 2mm, and a Potomac Exclusive filigree laser cut wood heart. Make one for yourself and all your loves! Technique learned: Working with wood forms, Embroidery
Prepare the Heart Form: Begin by removing the protective paper layer from the wooden heart form to reveal the surface for beading.
Start Beading: Thread your needle with about five feet of beading wire and secure a stop bead. Start by adding seed beads and your choice of Czech glass or crystal beads, creating loops through the holes of the heart form.
Create Patterns: Continue adding beads in various sizes to create a dense, frilly pattern around the heart. Use larger beads towards the top and smaller beads or crystals towards the bottom for a tapered effect.
Add a Bail: Once all beading is complete, create a bail by threading about 30 beads and looping them through the top center hole of the heart form to create a hanging loop.
Create a double or tripple leather wrap with an extra flair. Use seed beads to create a delicate border to showcase a mosaic of gemstones, crystals and glass. This wrap is comfortable to wear and makes a great piece to take (or make) on a summer vacation destination.

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.
I have been shopping with Potomac Beads for years. There are many colors that are exclusive to them along with bead shapes. I also get compliments on their patterns.
