    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather 3mm Czech glass beads, two size 10 beading needles, and a foot of .006 Wildfire beading thread.
    Use a thread burner to cut the thread.
    Thread the Needles: Attach a needle to each end of the thread.
    Start Beading: Drop one bead to the thread's center, then alternately add beads on each needle, crossing through the last bead added to form a square.
    Form the Cube: Continue adding beads in groups of three, crossing through the last bead with both needles to construct the cube's sides.
    Reinforce and Finish: After completing the cube's structure, stitch through the outer beads to reinforce the shape. Finish off by tying the threads and trimming any excess.
    Creative Use: Explore using the cubes in various jewelry projects, such as earrings or bracelets, to add dimension and interest.

    Too much scrolling to find your product or color even with the filters. The filters don’t allow you to see all of the color choices for an item at one glance for example. You spend too much time finding what you want. It gets frustrating!
