Quick Project Steps
Prepare Materials: Gather all materials and tools. Start with about five feet of thread, adding more as needed.
Base Row: Begin by adding a stop bead to your thread. Create the base row using RounDuo® beads, Czech faceted rounds, and Miyuki seed beads in a repeating pattern, attaching the clasp with wire guards at the ends.
Second Row: Enhance the pattern by adding another layer of beads, creating a laced effect across the necklace's length.
Final Row and Cascading Effect: Introduce Miyuki drop beads alongside the existing pattern to create the signature cascading effect of the Mystic River necklace.
Finishing: Secure and finish off the thread using knots and glue at strategic points for durability.

For my first purchase (3 month subscription box), I'm a little disappointed. The instructions are good and the videos (YouTube) are excellent. The beads are very pretty. Unfortunately, I did not receive enough beads to finish one of the projects. Some of the beads also had holes fused shut. I tried reaching out to customer support via the website and haven't heard back yet. I intend to keep trying their products because their designs are so pretty and the videos are so well done. Maybe I just got unlucky with my first project.
It was easy to find what I wanted. Very easy and secure.
