    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather 11/0 seed beads, 8mm Czech glass beads, and 4mm pearls or crystals. Start with a Stop Bead: Add a stop bead to your thread for a starting point. Initial Weaving: Thread a 4mm bead, followed by an 8mm bead, then loop around with another 4mm bead. Create Outer Loop: Add a loop of 4mm crystals for an external bling, beginning and ending with an 11/0 seed bead. Weave Pattern: Continue the weaving pattern, alternating between the bead sizes, creating a snaking effect. Adding Clasps: Upon reaching the desired length, attach the clasp using an 11/0 bead and reinforce it for durability. Finishing Touches: Ensure there are no twists in the bracelet and the clasp is secured properly. Completion: Tie off and burn the thread ends to complete your woven glass bracelet.

    It would be so much easier to see if you would set up the credit card number entry with a space between each unit of 4 numbers. Most places already do that. It’s hard to enter and see them when they’re all run together. Thank you.
