    Quick Project Steps

    Start with a netting design: Begin by threading a needle with .006 wildfire thread and add alternating pinch beads and bicone crystals to form the outer row.
    Create the starfish shape: Add layers of seed beads and bicone crystals to develop the starfish motif, ensuring to follow the netting technique for a cohesive design.
    Bezel the rivoli: Secure a 10mm rivoli within the netting, using additional seed beads to form a tight bezel around the rivoli.
    Connect the components: Link multiple starfish components together, adjusting the color scheme as desired to create a continuous bracelet design.

    When you are looking at your cart, it would be helpful if the back button would put you back on the same page in the search results that you last were on. Instead, it has you go back to page 1 in your search. I always have to remember which page I was on when I want to view my cart. I go back and forth quite often, and it is annoying. Also, I was looking for storm duos in a real red, a real dark blue, and a dark teal. Didn't find any of those colors. I look for these colors a lot in purchasing other types of beads, too, and your site doesn't offer very many choices if any at all.
