    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather 11/0 seed beads, 3mm bugle beads, a clasp, a beading needle, beading thread, and a stop bead.
    Attach the Stop Bead: Thread your needle and pass it through a stop bead twice, leaving a six-inch tail. This will hold your work in place.
    Begin the Bead Pattern: String two 11/0 seed beads, one bugle bead, repeating until you have four sections of bugle beads separated by seed beads.
    End with two seed beads.
    Start the Peyote Stitch: Skipping the first seed bead, pass through the next seed bead, adding 11/0 seed beads and integrating bugle beads into the pattern.
    Continue the Pattern: Follow the peyote stitch technique, alternating between adding seed beads and passing through bugle beads to extend the bracelet.
    Finish the Bracelet: Once you reach the desired length, secure the ends with clasps to complete your Roman Ruins bracelet.

    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.
