Quick Project Steps
Attach the silk cording to a needle (included with the cording).
Tie a knot about two inches from the end of the cording to start.
Thread a bead onto the silk, then tie a knot to secure it in place. Continue adding beads and knots according to your design preference.
For a double-stranded necklace, create a loop after the desired length of the first strand and start the second strand.
Once both strands are completed, secure them together with a faceted table cut button.
Finish off by cutting any excess silk cording.

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.
It was easy to find what I wanted. Very easy and secure.
