    Quick Project Steps

    In this PotomacBeads tutorial, learn how to bezel a chaton and embellish around it to create this beautiful Be Blessed Component.
    Put 8 delicas onto about an arm’s span length of thread. Go back through a couple beads to make a circle. Pick up a delica and go back down the bead the thread is coming out of. Go back up through the current bead and add another delica to it. Use a ladder stitch to add one bead at a time until the prong is 5 beads long.
    Add a wire guard if you will be using the component as a pendant or earrings. Knot the thread through a bridge thread, pull tight and move the thread a few beads away and knot again. Burn the thread down flush with the project.

    I love everything about Potomac beads, except for the dragon fire white thread. I bought the time before it was a 250 spool and I bought 5 pound because the 6 pound I had was just humongous you've done some changing with your threads since the last time I bought some. I fell and broke my right arm and my rotator cuff and wasn't able to be for quite a while. I just pulled out the 5 pound white thread. I bought the time before and tried it. I don't even think I could bezel with it. The 6 pound does beautiful. I took one arm span of thread off the spool and I won't be using it. It's a shame because I truly love yours thread.
