    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Miyuki Seed Beads (8/0), Czech Faceted Round Beads (4mm), Potomac Crystal Briolettes (5x8mm), Wire Guard Protectors. Prepare Wire Guard: Attach thread to the wire guard and pinch it closed gently. Start Beading: Thread 13 Miyuki Seed Beads (8/0) onto the thread. Add Drop Bead: Attach a drop bead (Potomac Crystal Briolettes) at the center and secure it. Create Fringe: Add 15/0 seed beads and Czech Faceted Round Beads (4mm) along the thread. Go back through the beads to secure them and create a fringe effect. Reinforce Design: Loop the thread through the wire guard and back down through the beads to reinforce the structure. Final Touches: Adjust and add more beads as desired for a fuller fringe. Tie off the thread securely and trim excess. Attach Earring Findings: Add ear wire or lever back to the wire guard for the final earring.

    During checkout, the module did not accept my card verification number until I refreshed the page. I placed the correct three digit number in multiple times and kept getting the error.

    Bonjour! C'est une première expérience d'achat chez Potomacbeads.com J'avoue que je suis ravie. J'ai même reçu un cadeau. Je ne m'attendais pas à ça!! C'est génial et je ne peux que remercier pour cette belle attention! J'ai reçu de très jolies pierres. Je les adore!! Comme je suis québécoise francophone, c'est un peu plus compliqué. Par contre, je n'ai que des bons mots pour POTOMACBEADS Merci pour votre professionnalisme . . . .
