    Prepare Your Materials: Gather all the materials listed above. Cut approximately 6 inches of wildfire beading thread, and attach a stop bead at one end.

    Add Focus to the Oval: Optionally, decorate the sides of the oval with additional seed beads to bring focus to the piece.
    Incorporate Pearls and Crystals: Continue adding pearls and crystals, alternating with 15/0 seed beads to create the desired length of the necklace.

    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.
