    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.

    When you are looking at your cart, it would be helpful if the back button would put you back on the same page in the search results that you last were on. Instead, it has you go back to page 1 in your search. I always have to remember which page I was on when I want to view my cart. I go back and forth quite often, and it is annoying. Also, I was looking for storm duos in a real red, a real dark blue, and a dark teal. Didn't find any of those colors. I look for these colors a lot in purchasing other types of beads, too, and your site doesn't offer very many choices if any at all.
