    Quick Project Steps

    Start with threading two needles on a 6-foot piece of beading thread, attaching a Cup Button at the center.
    Begin the central row: Alternate between CrissCross beads and Round Duo beads, separated by three Miyuki 11/0 seed beads.
    For the sides: Add Round Duo beads in an alternate color, linking them with the central row using a square stitch method and incorporating 8/0 seed beads for extra detail.
    Reinforce the closure loop by threading through it multiple times for durability.
    Secure the ending with knots, apply glue for additional security, and trim excess thread with a thread burner for a clean finish.

    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.
