Continue Adding Rows:
Repeat the pattern, ensuring even tension and alignment as you build the bracelet.
Maintain Tension:
Keep the beads snug but not overly tight to maintain flexibility.
Attach the Clasp:

Reinforce the Bracelet:
Weave back through the bracelet to strengthen the structure before trimming excess thread.
Customize Your Design:
Experiment with different bead colors, sizes, and clasp styles for a personalized touch.

#1. I had to redo my order 3 times because my cart kept going back to Zero items in cart. #2. I finally got Some of the things I wanted to stay in the cart and no, at payment time, I am bombarded with "buy this, that, and another before I can get back to my busy life. Now I am praying that my stuff does not vanish again before I hit the finish button.
Always great patterns and tutorials are very good. Thank you.

I don't know why you have the drop-down boxes -- I can see them but can't get to them. I had to use search for everything. Why do you list things that are on sale if they are out of stock? Are they still going to be on sale when they are back in stock?
It’s always a pleasure to work with Potomac Beads in whatever capacity I might have with this company and the knowledge people who work for you!
