    Quick Project Steps

    In this PotomacBeads tutorial, learn how to use a Peyote stitch with a twist to create the Ocular Delica Bracelet. This simple yet striking design uses pearls for a touch of elegance. 1. Put a stop bead onto size 6 Dragonthread, leaving about 10 inches for a tail. Add 3 delica beads and a 4mm Potomac Pearl. Repeat the pattern three more times. Sew back through the first 5 beads to form a circle. 2. Watch the Ocular Delica Bracelet tutorial to follow along with Allie as she guides you step-by-step through the process of creating the delica and pearl bracelet. 3. Once you’re done with your pattern, it’s time to attach the clasp. Pick up a pearl and the infinite clasp, go back down through the pearl. Weave the thread back to the interior of the project and tie off. Burn off the loose end and glue a cabochon into the clasp. The Ocular Delica Bracelet design can easily be modified to make a chain look necklace or a lovely pair of matching earrings. Why not make a set for someone special? Technique learned:

    The site is hard to navigate. When a selection is made and then click on the pages, it repeats itself. Everytime something is added to the cart, in order to keep shopping, you are forced to click the x to back out.

    I found it very difficult to navigate ur website knowing the name of bead doesnt help in getting to the bead choices , I ended up with being offered discounts and carts not allowing to putin codes. Until very end I saw patterns I was interested in doing but having to choose from only colors offered as alternayes to chose from unable to somply type in name and look over all, wanted to do you feb 20 sale but again waiting through the whole offerings to see if something was an item I was lookinf for was time comsuming and working with an ipad I had limited screen of products ,my ipad would not show your sale as even a 1/2 screen , i was limited to pulling up my email that being 1/3 ,2/3 was the infor of sale and 1/4 of screen was a 1l2 height of having your showing...
