    Quick Project Steps

    1. Put 2 size 11 needles onto about 6 feet of .006 Wildfire beading thread. Pick up 3 seed beads and bring the needles up the 2 holes of a table cut button. Add 5 seed beads to each needle. Bring both needles up through the 2 holes of an IrisDuo, add an EVA bead, point up, with both needles. Make sure both sides of the thread are of equal length. 2. Watch the Hidden Treasure Bracelet tutorial to follow along with Tracy as she shows you how to create the pattern used in her beaded bracelet design. 3. Bring both needles and thread down the center of the project to reinforce the beads, then sew back up the sides of the bracelet to make it a bit sturdier. Tie off and burn the loose thread edges. The Hidden Treasure Bracelet is a great beading project that would look good with any color combination you choose.

    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.
