    Quick Project Steps

    Begin: Start by threading 15 Delica beads with a stop bead at the end. Square Stitch Expansion: Use the square stitch technique to add more rows, ensuring to slide each row into the bead holder as you progress. Herringbone Stitch: Transition to the herringbone stitch using four different colors of 11/0 Miyuki seed beads, following a random mosaic pattern. Completing the Design: Continue to expand the bracelet by adding more herringbone stitched strands and occasional simple stringing sections. Finishing Touches: Secure the strands using the Delica end elements, add clasps using jump rings, and adjust the length as necessary.

    My beading ruler was very marred and scrapped. Also, I received my other 2nd packed and it was unsealed in my mailbox. Thankfully everything was there.

    No problems with the order or the delivery. The beads' colors look different in person but trying to judge colors online can be challenging.

    I look forward to shopping at Potomac Beads.

    I wish Delica Beads were not sorted my finish. I don't always know what finish I want. And, I wish DB numbers and names didn't change which makes it so hard to match. Customer Service was very helpful to help me find the color closest to what I already had but didn't exist in Potomac's inventory. Thanks
