    Quick Project Steps

    Thread two size 10 English beading needles on a single, five-foot length of Wildfire beading thread, creating a double-thread setup.
    Start by adding a Czech pearl on one needle, followed by seed beads and Czech glass on the other, forming the first unit of the bracelet.
    Continue adding beads in the described pattern, alternating the position of the Czech glass to create a colorful central line.
    Once the base is complete, attach a cup button clasp using seed beads and reinforce the connection.
    Embellish the bracelet with either a V or X pattern, adding Czech glass and seed beads to frame the central line.
    Secure and trim the threads after adding the final embellishments to complete the bracelet.

    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.
