    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare your materials and thread two needles with approximately five feet of beading thread.
    Start by attaching the cup button with three 11/0 seed beads, a 2-hole bar bead, and the cup button itself, then create the base for the first tulip.
    Construct the tulip using crescent beads for the outer petals and 2-hole bar beads for the inner detail, secured with 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads for added texture and contrast.
    Link each tulip together with crystal rondelle beads, repeating the process to achieve the desired bracelet length.
    Finish the bracelet by creating a loop with seed beads for the clasp mechanism.
    Secure and trim the thread ends with a thread burner, applying a dab of glue for extra security.

    I have an account with Potomac on my other email & I could not get the free clasp with the long oval so I used my other email address where I don’t have an account with Potomac.  I also I tried to change the free clasp to the gold clasp & couldn’t do it.  I had a hard time trying to get the deal for today.  I would like the gold clasp that was offered with the purchase of long ovals that I want to make & also a pair of earrings.  I am a fairly new customer & have only purchased from Potomac 1 other time.  I have a bead store that I’ve done business with but it’s easier to purchase on-line with free shipping over $75..
