    Quick Project Steps

    Begin by stringing a sequence of SuperDuo (or Twin Bead), 11/0 seed bead, repeating this pattern six times on your thread.
    Form a circle by passing the needle back through all the beads, creating a base for the tubular knit pattern.
    Start building the pattern by adding a SuperDuo and 11/0 seed bead, passing through the existing beads in a specific order to create the tubular effect.
    Continue adding beads in the sequence, paying attention to the order to maintain the pattern. Once the desired length is reached, prepare to add the clasp by integrating cup buttons and creating a toggle using 11/0 seed beads.
    Finish the bracelet by securing the clasp and trimming any excess thread.

    I have an account with Potomac on my other email & I could not get the free clasp with the long oval so I used my other email address where I don’t have an account with Potomac.  I also I tried to change the free clasp to the gold clasp & couldn’t do it.  I had a hard time trying to get the deal for today.  I would like the gold clasp that was offered with the purchase of long ovals that I want to make & also a pair of earrings.  I am a fairly new customer & have only purchased from Potomac 1 other time.  I have a bead store that I’ve done business with but it’s easier to purchase on-line with free shipping over $75..
