    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Prepare Potomac Crystal 3mm cube beads, Miyuki Delica seed beads in three colors, Dragonthread, wire guards, and ear wires. Thread Preparation: Cut an arm’s length of Dragonthread, thread your needle, and begin working with the large component. Large Component - Initial Setup: String a sequence of cube and Delica beads, forming a square. Use herringbone stitch to build the beadwork, ensuring proper alignment and tension. Picot Trim: Add decorative picot trim using additional seed beads, ensuring a neat and even finish. Complete Large Component: Weave through beads to secure the pattern, finish the component, and tie off the thread. Create Small Component: Repeat the initial steps on a smaller scale, mirroring the large component’s design. Assemble Earring: Attach the small component to the large one, using wire guards for added durability. Add Ear Wires: Attach the ear wires using pliers, ensuring they are securely fastened. Final Adjustments: Inspect the earring, make any necessary adjustments, and reinforce where needed.

    Too much scrolling to find your product or color even with the filters. The filters don’t allow you to see all of the color choices for an item at one glance for example. You spend too much time finding what you want. It gets frustrating!

    I had a fun & easy shopping experience. I found everything that I want for now!

    It's obnoxious that the site tries to sell customers other things during the checkout process. The purchase button is brighter and more noticeable than the "No thanks" button, which probably tricks many naive customers and makes them not want to shop here again.
