Gather all materials and prepare your work surface.
Start by attaching the cut button clasp with a few seed beads for decoration.
Add an 11/0 seed bead, then seven more, and proceed by adding a 15/0 seed bead, a 6mm round bead, and another 15/0 before looping back through the seven 11/0 seed beads.
Continue the pattern by adding sets of seven 11/0 beads and single 6mm beads, separated by 15/0s, creating a zigzag or helix pattern.
Once the desired length is reached, create a loop of 15/0 seed beads to secure the cut button clasp.
Finish the ends, secure the thread with knots, apply glue if desired, and trim excess thread.

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!

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.
