    Quick Project Steps

    Gather the materials: Choose your LeafDuo beads, seed beads, and Cabochon par Puca as listed above. Set up your thread: Use a 4.5 ft length of thread with a size 10 beading needle. Create the base loop: String the LeafDuo beads and 8/0 seed beads alternately, ensuring the holes align properly. Tie a tight knot to form a loop. Add decorative loops: Use 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads to create loops around each 8/0 seed bead. Reinforce the structure: Add more seed beads as necessary to secure the loops. Attach the clasp: Use the Athenacast Lobster Figure 8 Clasp or the Claspgarten Flower Oval Box Push Clasp. Final adjustments: Ensure all threads are secured, trim excess, and test the necklace for durability.

    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.
