    Quick Project Steps

    Enjoy the sleek, polished look of Potomac pearls in the Lustrous Beauty Necklace. Learn how to use a super simple stringing technique to create this project in this PotomacBeads tutorial. 1. Put a stop bead onto some size 6 Wildfire. Using a size 10 needle, pick up five 8/0 seed beads and a 4mm bead. Continue the pattern for 18 inches. When you are finished the length, add a cup button to the end of the strand using 11/0 seed beads. 2. Watch the Lustrous Beauty Necklace tutorial with Allie to see how she completes the design used in the pearl necklace. 3. When you get to the end of the design, reinforce the button to strengthen the clasp. Bring the thread back through the project to get back to the stop bead and tighten up the necklace. Have fun making the Lustrous Beauty Necklace. This quick project would make a great last minute gift. Why not try adding Potomac crystals for some more bling? Technique learned:

    I would have liked more information about the subscription process and how to cancel the membership if desired. Also wanted specific details about what the kit includes. New to Potomac Beads and your website.

    The website is easily navigable and I like the option to omit out-of-stock items from turning up in searches. My orders are always processed promptly and well packaged for shipping. On the rare occasions that I receive an incorrect item I have always been fully satisfied by its resolution. Potomac has long been one of my favorite vendors and they often have things I can't get anywhere else. One thing I wish they would do is put the manufacturer item code (like TR-08-999 or DP-401FR) on the label, since sometimes name of a finish will get changed; it would make it easier to find the same color again since the color code stays the same.
