The holidays are here again. Making the season more fun is one of our favorite things. Check out our 10 minute video tutorial to see how you can make an easy present topper using some Seed Beads and Czech Melons.
Begin with 8/0 Toho Seed Beads, threading them onto beading thread with a needle.
Add a split or soldered ring to the thread and loop back through the beads.
Start beadweaving to create the pine needle effect, beginning with smaller branches and gradually adding larger ones.
Incorporate Czech Melons beads as berries, positioning them near the top of the pine needle design.
Finish the topper by tying off the thread and adding decorative touches as desired.
Create a double or tripple leather wrap with an extra flair. Use seed beads to create a delicate border to showcase a mosaic of gemstones, crystals and glass. This wrap is comfortable to wear and makes a great piece to take (or make) on a summer vacation destination.

Website is not easy to use. I had difficulty with the password reset link. It would also be helpful to have filters available on more categories. For instance I was looking for specific type of clasps with certain features but had to scroll through pages of items I wasn’t interested in.
It was difficult to place my order. I added and removed things from the cart. When I removed an item, it removed almost everything I had in the cart Something that should’ve taken three minutes, took a 15 minutes. The phone I was using is an Apple on a safari browser.
