Quick Project Steps

Prepare Your Materials: Gather kite beads in three colors and 15/0 seed beads. Cut a 5-foot length of beading thread, threading it through a size 10 needle, adding a stop bead at the end.
Base Pattern Creation: String kite beads in your chosen color pattern, focusing on the short side of the beads for the initial row.
Building the Pixelated Design: Switch to adding beads through the longer, narrow side, incorporating 15/0 seed beads as connectors between kite beads. Alternate colors according to your pattern.
Adding the Clasp: Once the desired length is achieved, add the two-strand clasp at both ends of the bracelet, using 15/0 seed beads to integrate the clasp seamlessly.
Finishing Touches: Work back through the bracelet, adding 15/0 seed beads between the outer holes of the kite beads to solidify the design and reinforce the clasp.
Final Inspection and Adjustment: Ensure the bracelet fits comfortably and make any necessary adjustments. Tie off and burn down excess thread.

Spoke to Faith and she was very helpful and took good care of me, can't wait to get my beads and assemble the bracelets.

Did not understand all the junk offerings of unwanted items as the final step to completing my purchase. Thought I was done, and almost closed out site when I finally noticed "No thanks complete my purchase button. Had to choose that button 2 times to complete purchase. Find that very confusing and deceptive trying to trick people into accidentally buying products they do not want. A big negative for me when dealing with a business.
