    Quick Project Steps

    Start by creating a small circle with six 11/0 seed beads, tying them together to form the base of your beaded bead.
    Add layers by alternating between 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads, expanding the circle into a spherical beaded bead structure.
    Integrate Potomac Crystal Rondelles between the seed bead layers to add sparkle and dimension.
    Repeat the process to create multiple beaded beads, varying the size of the crystals for a graduated effect.
    String the beaded beads onto your necklace chain or thread, separating them with additional seed beads or crystal bicones as desired.
    Finish the necklace with a lobster clasp and adjust the length to your preference.

    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?
