    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Collect all the necessary beads, thread, needle, and clasp as listed. Prepare Thread: Cut a length of white or crystal Dragon thread (about 4 feet) and attach a size 10 needle. Add a stop bead to one end. Start Beading: Pick up one Round Duo Mini, one 11/0 seed bead, and one 8mm pearl. Continue adding beads in the pattern shown in the video. Form Structure: Secure the beads in place by threading back through them, ensuring the Round Duo Minis hold the strands to the side. Add Clasp: Attach the Claspgarten Diamondback Princess Box Push Clasp by threading through the beads and clasp loop. Reinforce by threading through multiple times. Reinforce Bracelet: Go through the beads again to ensure the bracelet is sturdy and all threads are tight. Finish Off: Tie off the thread ends at the back of the project and trim any excess thread. Optional Variations: Experiment with different bead sizes, colors, and types for unique designs.

    My son gave me a gift card for Christmas which he found easy to purchase (did it online). I ordered practical items that I use all of the time. I added the clip on magnifier light because you can't have enough magnification. It has quite a large viewing area and I was very pleasantly surprised. It seemed like it took a while for this package to arrive, but I have plenty of projects to keep me busy. The only contact I gave was when I was asked if the package had arrived.
