    Quick Project Steps

    Gather all materials: beading needle, thread, pliers, seed beads, SuperDuos, and a clasp.
    Begin with a stop bead to prevent beads from falling off the thread.
    Start the beading pattern with seed beads and SuperDuos, following the specific color and order mentioned in the video.
    Create the spiral by following through the top hole of the first SuperDuo added, continuing the pattern with cubes and SuperDuos.
    To extend the bracelet, keep adding beads in the specified pattern, ensuring the spiral formation is maintained.

    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.
