    Quick Project Steps

    These adorable May Flowers Beaded Beads make the perfect springtime accessory. Choose to string them together to make a necklace or add a wire guard to have a fabulous pair of earrings. 1. On a size 12 needle, put a seed bead from your project as a stop bead on your thread, leaving a couple inches. Add 3 rounduo minis, separated by seed beads. Bring the needle back through the stop bead and rounduo mini and pull tight. Go through all the beads again to strenghten the connection. Step up through the top hole of the rounduo mini. Pick up a seed bead and 2 stormduos so that they face each other, forming a V shape, and another seed bead. Pass through the next rounduo mini. Repeat 2 more times in between the other rounduo minis. 2. Watch the May Flowers Beaded Bead tutorial with Anna to follow her step-by-step directions. 3. Add a wire guard to the top beads you began the project with. Reinforce by threading through a second time. Tie off the thread and burn down the ends. Add an earwire. The May Flowers Beaded Bead is a wonderful piece that can be used in many different projects. Let your creativity shine as you join PotomacBeads on your beading adventure

    Well have to say that I have been looking for the color of these beads everywhere but here. I did not think that you would have them. I searched high and low for them and then finally I came here. OMG!!!! You were the ones that had them and the colors and sizes that I was looking for were sold out. I wasn't able to complete the color choices. But I came back and I found most of them so I put in an order. I learned a lesson from all of my blood sweat and tears...come to Potomac 1st! I now can make my project! Thank you!!!!!
