Quick Project Steps

Prepare the Base: Attach a stop bead to your thread. Start with a pattern of a 15/0 seed bead, two 11/0 seed beads, another 15/0, and a 3mm round bead. Repeat to form the base of the cluster.
Form the Cluster: Use the netting technique to add rounds and seed beads, creating the decorative cluster top of the ring.
Construct the Band: Transition to ladder stitch to create a two-bead-wide comfortable and stylish band.
Complete the Design: Secure the ends with knots, hiding them within the beadwork for a clean finish.

At the end of my order, I felt like I was tricked into buying a different brand of seed beads for 16.99. I tried calling Potomac. Nobody answered the phone so I had to leave a message. Since I didn't want those see Beads and I wasn't sure if they would pick up my message before they shipped. I also emailed Potomac. That's situation was handled fine. Just disappointed nobody answered the phone. Took almost 2 weeks for me to receive my order which was disappointing. One of the packets of Beads was short. I know not to call because no one answers the phone so I emailed and asked how they were going to fix the situation. I guess I have to sit back and wait for a reply. Deb Hample
