    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather seed beads in sizes 11/0, 15/0, and 8/0 along with specialty beads, thread, and needles. Base Design: Begin by threading the foundational beadwork to create the ornament's base structure. Decorative Layers: Add larger beads to create depth and design. Edge Work: Use smaller beads (15/0) to refine the edges and add intricate details. Assembly: Join separate sections using sturdy thread to maintain durability. Reinforce: Ensure all beads are securely threaded to avoid gaps or loosening. Final Touches: Polish the ornament by trimming excess thread and ensuring symmetry. Display: Showcase the finished piece as a centerpiece or holiday decoration.

    Your checkout process was very annoying. Need to be able to see password. The project itself was great - with a pattern that was beginner-friendly.
