    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather all beads, thread, needle, and other materials listed.
    Start with a Stop Bead: Add a stop bead to your thread to prevent beads from slipping off.
    Lay Out Your Pattern: Begin with an ABCD pattern for your beads, starting with two white, two red, followed by four white, and four red.
    Begin Tubular Peyote Stitch: Thread the beads onto your needle according to the pattern and start the peyote stitch, adding beads to create the tubular form.
    Work on the Bracelet Body: Continue with the stitch, following the candy cane pattern, and add more thread as needed.
    Attach the Clasp: Once the body of the bracelet is complete, finish the ends with 15/0 beads to taper and attach the Potomac Crystal Button for the clasp.
    Final Adjustments: Adjust the tension and ensure the bracelet has a comfortable fit.

    I would have liked more information about the subscription process and how to cancel the membership if desired. Also wanted specific details about what the kit includes. New to Potomac Beads and your website.

    The website is easily navigable and I like the option to omit out-of-stock items from turning up in searches. My orders are always processed promptly and well packaged for shipping. On the rare occasions that I receive an incorrect item I have always been fully satisfied by its resolution. Potomac has long been one of my favorite vendors and they often have things I can't get anywhere else. One thing I wish they would do is put the manufacturer item code (like TR-08-999 or DP-401FR) on the label, since sometimes name of a finish will get changed; it would make it easier to find the same color again since the color code stays the same.
