    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare a wide-eye needle with 0.006 Wildfire beading thread, leaving a 6-inch tail.
    Start by stringing three Tila beads, mixing colors as desired but avoiding identical adjacent colors.
    Sew through the beads to form the base of your bracelet, adding a stop bead to secure the end.
    Continue adding rows of Tila beads, using a methodical pattern to ensure tight, even placement.
    To add the clasp, incorporate 15/0 beads and a lampwork bead, securing with additional 8/0 beads.
    For trimming, use a combination of 15/0 beads, teardrops, and 8/0 beads, attaching them along the sides of the Tila beads for decoration.

    #1. I had to redo my order 3 times because my cart kept going back to Zero items in cart. #2. I finally got Some of the things I wanted to stay in the cart and no, at payment time, I am bombarded with "buy this, that, and another before I can get back to my busy life. Now I am praying that my stuff does not vanish again before I hit the finish button.

    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?
