    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: 4mm round beads, 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads, beading thread, a needle, and a clasp. Create the First Right Angle Weave Unit: Pick up four 4mm round beads and form a right-angle weave unit. Leave a foot of tail on the thread for the clasp later. Add Seed Beads and Embellishments: Pick up an 11/0 seed bead between each 4mm round bead. Cap the 4mm beads with six 15/0 seed beads, sewing through the beads to secure. Build Additional Units: Continue the right-angle weave pattern, adding 11/0 seed beads and capping with 15/0 seed beads every two units. Attach the Clasp: Add three 15/0 seed beads, followed by an 11/0 bead. Loop through the clasp and reinforce by sewing through the beads and thread multiple times. Finish and Secure: Tie off the thread securely by sewing through bridge threads and creating knots. Use a thread burner to finish the thread ends.

    I spent half an hour trying to login, my password didn’t work and yet the software wouldn’t let me change my password. I couldn’t even set up a new account. Frustrating 10!
