Create a circular strip with alternating units involving StormDuo and seed beads.
After completing the strip, add 15/0 seed beads along the edges where StormDuo beads are present.

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!
