    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Miyuki Seed Beads (8/0), Czech Faceted Round Beads (4mm), Potomac Crystal Briolettes (5x8mm), Wire Guard Protectors. Prepare Wire Guard: Attach thread to the wire guard and pinch it closed gently. Start Beading: Thread 13 Miyuki Seed Beads (8/0) onto the thread. Add Drop Bead: Attach a drop bead (Potomac Crystal Briolettes) at the center and secure it. Create Fringe: Add 15/0 seed beads and Czech Faceted Round Beads (4mm) along the thread. Go back through the beads to secure them and create a fringe effect. Reinforce Design: Loop the thread through the wire guard and back down through the beads to reinforce the structure. Final Touches: Adjust and add more beads as desired for a fuller fringe. Tie off the thread securely and trim excess. Attach Earring Findings: Add ear wire or lever back to the wire guard for the final earring.

    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.
