    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather quad bows, 8/0 and 11/0 seed beads, gold Dragon thread, and a needle. Thread and Start: Cut a comfortable length of thread (up to 3 feet) and thread the needle. Begin with a double right-angle weave using 8/0 seed beads. Add Quad Bows: Attach the first quad bow, ensuring the correct orientation. Use 11/0 seed beads as connectors. Create the Structure: Continue adding quad bows and weaving in seed beads, moving through the inner and outer holes as demonstrated. Build the Top: Secure the design by adding 11/0 seed beads in strategic points, forming a heart-like shape. Final Details: Add the last quad bow, stitch seed beads around the edges, and attach the ear wire with a jump ring. Finishing Touches: Check for loose threads and tie knots. Add decorations as desired to enhance the earring's appearance.

    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?
