Quick Project Steps

Prepare Materials: Gather all beads, two needles, and about 5 feet of beading thread.
Start with the Clasp: Thread a needle on each end of the thread, add three 11/0 seed beads, and pass both needles through a cup button. Add three more 11/0 seed beads on each side.
Adding Round Trios: Add an 11/0 seed bead, then a Round Trio bead, crossing needles through the first hole. Add another 11/0 on each side and cross through the middle hole of the Round Trio.
Expand the Bracelet: Continue adding Round Trio beads and 11/0 seed beads, alternating the needle passage through the Round Trio beads' holes to form the base.
Making the Loop: Create a loop at the other end for the clasp using 11/0 seed beads.
Inserting Drops: On both sides, add Czech drops next to each Round Trio by passing through every three seed beads.
Finishing Touches: After adding all drops, secure the thread with knots, apply glue if desired, and trim excess thread.

Products are easy to find on the website. Large selection of beads and good sales. I have had some log in issues. I have also had issues with bead quality. Some aren’t drilled all the way and the color flaked off of lined beads.
