    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Alphabet block beads (gold or silver). 4mm fire-polished beads in your chosen colors. Daisy spacers (optional for added style). Stretchy string (0.8mm thickness). Bead stopper. Loctite glue for securing the knot. Plan Your Design: Choose your affirmation message (e.g., "Breathe," "Let Go"). Arrange the alphabet beads and fire-polished beads in the desired pattern on a flat surface. Prepare the Stretch Cord: Cut a length of stretchy string about 10 inches longer than your wrist size. Attach a bead stopper to one end of the string to prevent beads from slipping off. String Your Beads: Thread alphabet beads first, ensuring they face the correct direction. Add Daisy spacers or fire-polished beads to complete the design. Secure the Bracelet: Tie a double knot with the stretchy string, ensuring it is tight and secure. Apply a small dab of Loctite glue to the knot for durability. Hide the Knot and Finish: Slide the knot into the hole of a bead to conceal it. Trim any excess string for a neat finish.

    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.
