    Quick Project Steps

    Start with the Lobster Clasp Loop: Use 11/0 seed beads to create a loop for the lobster clasp. String the Beads: Begin stringing 8/0 seed beads, followed by a 6mm Gemstone Round, and continue with the pattern. Create Beaded Snowballs: Integrate Miyuki Drops and 11/0 seed beads to form beaded snowballs along the necklace. Add Large Hole Tubes: Place Large Hole Tubes between sections of beaded snowballs for an elegant spacing. Attach the Clasp: Secure the lobster clasp to the end of the necklace, reinforcing the loop for durability. Finish the Necklace: Go back through the beads to reinforce the structure and trim any excess thread.

    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.
