    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather metal round beads, glass pearls, crystal bicones, seed beads (11/0, 15/0), a clasp, and two needles with thread. Start with Clasp: Attach the clasp using two needles and begin the base of the bracelet with a right-angle weave, adding beads in a specified order. Add Beads: Follow the pattern of adding seed beads and crisscrossing through pearl beads, ensuring a snug fit and proper alignment. Continue Pattern: Maintain the sequence of adding different-sized beads and crisscrossing through them, ensuring thread tension is even. Cinching Up: After reaching the desired length, add the clasp at the other end and cinch the bracelet for a snug fit. Add Decorative Elements: Embellish the bracelet with additional seed beads and crystals, enhancing the bracelet's appearance. Finalize the Bracelet: Secure the clasp, trim any excess thread, and add any final touches for a polished look.

    I miss your retail store. It is so hard to match beads online. I don't want to over order so i can see beads together. Any thoughts to sample boards?
