    Quick Project Steps

    Use your favorite beads to create this Modern Mayhem bracelet, consisting of right angle weave with some embellishment. Put a stop bead onto about 5 feet of size 8 Dragonthread. Pick up 8 seed beads and sew back through the first 6 beads. Create another box by adding 6 more seed beads and sew into the top of the two beads the thread is coming out of. Go back through the bottom 2 beads, add 6 more beads to create another box. Watch the Modern Mayhem bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie’s step-by-step directions to create a band about 7 inches long. Attach a Potomax infinite oval clasp, being careful to make sure the two sides of the clasp are facing in the right direction. Glue a long oval crystal into the clasp. This fun patchwork looking Modern Mayhem bracelet is a great way to get your creative juices flowing. Have fun making up patterns or adding beads at random. The finished product will be a beautiful bracelet that you’ll enjoy showing off. Technique learned: Right Angle Weave

    Received package of 6x12mm amethyst daggers in two sizes! 14 correct size 6x12mm but the rest were a lot bigger! I will only be able to make 7 sets of Glamorous earrings! Couple of EVA beads did not have the second hole. I could not even make a hole! Overall, thank you !!

    I receive the wrong item I ordered. I ordered a clear acrylic bead sorter and received a wooden one that had barely visible letters and numbers. I asked for the clear acrylic one to be sent to me - as that is what I ordered - and agreed to return the wooden one if a postage paid address label was sent to me. Nobody answered.
