    Put a stop bead on about four feet of thread. Thread through the sunflower crystal. Add on three seed beads and then an EVA. Put on five more seed beads and bring the thread back down through the EVA to decorate the top of the bead. Add two more seed beads and go back through the crystal.
    Add another EVA bead to the other side of the crystal using the same method. Pull the thread tight. Thread on three seed beads and go through the side hole of the crystal, add another three seed beads and sew down through the top of the crystal. Continue to line the back of the crystal.
    Watch Allie as she lines the project with the seed beads in the Grand Earring tutorial. Add a wireguard and bring the thread ends together and tie off. Add your earwire.

    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.
