Quick Project Steps

Bring on the summer vibes with these radiant hoop earrings. These Endless Summer earrings use a simple brick stitch so beaders of all skills can enjoy creating this project.
1. To begin, tie your thread onto the ring. String on an EVA bead so that the needle is going up towards the point. Next, add 3 15/0s, 1 8/0 and 3 more 15/0s and bring your thread back up through the EVA bead. That will decorate the middle of the hoop with the seed beads. Go back down through the EVA bead after looping the thread around the hoop. Then repeat the pattern with a new EVA until you have gone around the ring.
2. Next, you will be using a bricks stitch with the seed beads to decorate around the outside of the ring. Be careful not to add so many beads so that it's too tight. When you've finished the first ring you will start a second row with a pattern of crystal and orchid seed beads.
3. You can choose to add another row of seed beads to create a polished edge look or leave as is for a fringed look. Add the wire guard. You could put in a second wire guard on the bottom of the ring if you would like to add a tassel to the hoop. Watch Allie in the Endless summer pendant tutorial to get more ideas of how you could change up this project.

It's basically fine. A little annoying that the cart items don't link back to the full item description, but this is a nit pick. Company seems all right.

For some reason the drop down menus don't work. Hover the mouse cursor over it, then try to click on something under it and nothing happens. I would have bought more if I could have looked around.

Great selection. Found some things that I have not been able to find at other shops.

order form was difficult as it wasn't clear to me if the jewelry pattern was going to be shipped to me, or provide a website to retrieve a pdf of the pattern also: I didn't have my password, so requested to make a new one, and again, directions were not clear, tho I followed what it said, and it did not provide an oppty to create new password, just took me back to my order page!

I'm buying patterns because of the 50% mix and match sale, but the 50% off did not show up. So, it looks like I'm paying full price. I'm glad I was able to use rewards points, but nonetheless it's upsetting.
