    Quick Project Steps

    Preparation: Gather all materials and cut approximately 5 feet of beading thread, adding a needle to each end.
    Start with the Clasp: Thread the cut button and secure it with RounDuo and seed beads.
    Building the Pattern: Begin the main bracelet pattern by adding beads in the order instructed, paying attention to the technique of criss-crossing with two needles.
    Repeating the Pattern: Continue the pattern across the length of your bracelet, adding round duo beads and CzechMates triangles to create the unique ridged effect.
    Finishing the Bracelet: Conclude with making the loop for the button clasp, ensuring it fits snugly.
    Final Adjustments: Tighten all threads and secure the ends with knots or glue as needed.

    Very hard to navigate the website! I am a long time costumer and not to be able to use a coupon code is really not right! If I didn’t need the item I purchased for a gift I would not of bought it at all!

    I ordered on a Thursday and my package was at the post office by Friday. It took 10 days for the package to get to me - tracking was lost a couple of times and the post office took it off my delivery list at one point. Potomac Beads contacted me twice to check in on the progress of my search for my lost package. They went above and beyond. Very professional. Will definitely shop with them again.

    always a breeze to glide thru the shop and easily to find what you need... only complaint, not really complaint would be items added to cart aren't saved , if u click out of site , or lose electricity then you have to go thru and add everything again, so if we could keep items in cart for atleast 24 hrs would be great !!
