Quick Project Steps
Gather Materials:
2mm and 4mm bicones. 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread (size 8). Clasp or earring findings (optional).
Create the First Loop:
Thread six 2mm bicones, each separated by a 15/0 seed bead. Tie into a secure loop using a double knot or stop bead.
Add Seed Bead Layer:
Add a decorative border by threading a combination of 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads around the loop. Reinforce the loop by threading through all the beads again.
Build the Second Loop:
Start from the exterior of the first loop. Thread six 4mm bicones and alternate with seed beads (15/0 and 11/0).
Connect the Loops:
Use seed beads and bicones to link the loops together. Ensure the connection is secure by threading through the existing loops multiple times.
Repeat for Bracelet Length:
Continue creating and connecting loops until the bracelet reaches your desired length.
Attach the Clasp:
Use seed beads to attach the clasp securely to both ends of the bracelet. Reinforce the connection by threading through the clasp and beads several times.
Finalize the Design:
Tighten all threads and trim any excess. Adjust the beads for symmetry and polish the final look.

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.
