    Quick Project Steps

    Step 1: Prepare your materials and thread your needle with a 10-12 inch starting length of beading thread, securing a stop bead at the end.
    Step 2: Begin with a base of RounDuo beads, adding seed beads in a pattern of two 15/0s, one 11/0, and two more 15/0s before each RounDuo bead.
    Step 3: Form the first triangle by connecting three RounDuo beads, using 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads to create the triangular shape.
    Step 4: Transition to RounDuo Minis, repeating the pattern to form smaller triangles within the larger triangular framework.
    Step 5: Continue adding alternating layers of RounDuo and RounDuo Minis, following the established pattern to extend the bracelet.
    Step 6: Finish the bracelet with a loop of 15/0 seed beads for the closure, attaching a table cut button on the opposite end for the clasp.

    Appreciate free shipping. Clasps & beads are waaaay overpriced. Several tems are out of stock. Don’t appreciate offers to purchase random items when trying to checkout. The subscription kits are confusing. Monthly is self explanatory. $55 per month to receive 1 kit every 3 months??

    VERY DISAPPOINTED that I was too late to get the JET BRONZE MATTED before they were closed out. Sad face. Just goes to show that you need to get on the sight more often!! Always something GREAT being offered!! I love the offers at the end of my cart purchase. It usually has something that I missed or just want looking for - but, I need in my life LOL
