    Quick Project Steps

    Thread Your Needle: Cut about 5 feet of beading thread and thread your needle, creating a stop bead to secure the work.
    Begin Weaving: Start with a right angle weave, integrating round duo beads and bugles to form the bracelet's foundation.
    Add Montees: Place montees diagonally within the design for embellishment, using 15/0 seed beads to secure them in place.
    Attach the Clasp: Add the cut button clasp at one end and create a loop with seed beads at the other end for closure.
    Decorative Options: Optionally, add decorative seed bead loops around selected round duo beads for additional embellishment.

    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.
