    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.

    first time order, but it wouldn't let me use the coupon code for new customers. I received an email back in February that thanked me for my order, but when I looked at it, there was nothing ordered and the total stated $0.00

    I had trouble with your website, ordering was very nerve racking. I have made previous orders before without much trouble. I reached out to customer service and Val was very helpful. But by the time I was able to get back to my order several items were out of stock. That was disheartening since I’m trying to do a bracelet for my sister’s 70th birthday. I just hope the beads I ended up with look as nice as your demo does. Very sad and disappointing this time.
