    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Collect the necessary materials: 36 PieDuo beads, 325 Miyuki 11/0 seed beads, 73 Miyuki 15/0 seed beads, a cup button, and 6-8 feet of Dragonthread 8. Step 1 - Create the Base: Thread a needle with a small amount of Dragonthread. Start by picking up a PieDuo bead (through the inner edge) and add three 11/0 seed beads. Continue threading PieDuo beads and 11/0 beads in a sequence until you reach the desired length. Step 2 - Attach the Cup Button: Add five 11/0 beads to the needle and pass through the outer hole of the last PieDuo. Thread through the cup button, adding 15/0 beads on the inside, and secure by passing back through the seed beads and the PieDuo. Step 3 - Add the Loop for the Clasp: Create a loop on the opposite end by adding 11/0 and 15/0 beads in a pattern to match the cup button size. Pass the thread through the loop multiple times for reinforcement. Step 4 - Embellish the Bracelet: Add a decorative edge by threading additional seed beads between the PieDuo beads, covering the thread paths. Ensure all beads are securely in place and check for any loose threads. Final Step - Secure and Finish: Secure all loose ends by tying knots and burning off excess thread. Check the bracelet for fit and make any necessary adjustments.

    Happy with the products, but disappointed that it so long to receive it. Item was ordered on April 29th and they shipped on April 30th first class mail- it finally came on May 21st. Good thing it wasn't anything that was needed right away.

    It's obnoxious that the site tries to sell customers other things during the checkout process. The purchase button is brighter and more noticeable than the "No thanks" button, which probably tricks many naive customers and makes them not want to shop here again.
