    Optionally add embellishments over the cap using additional seed beads and Miyuki drops for a decorative touch.
    Securely attach the beaded cap to the tassel using beading thread, ensuring it is tight and secure.

    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?
