    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather all materials and cut about 5 feet of beading thread, attaching a needle at one end and a stop bead at the other.
    Start with SuperDuo Beads: Begin the bracelet by threading SuperDuo beads, alternating them with sets of three 15/0 seed beads for side decoration.
    Integrate Rulla Beads: Add Rulla beads in a peyote stitch pattern, increasing the width to create the fault line effect.
    Incorporate RounDuo Beads: Continue with RounDuo beads, framed by Rulla beads, to accentuate the bracelet's design.
    Repeat the Pattern: Continue the pattern of SuperDuo, Rulla, and RounDuo beads until you reach the desired bracelet length.
    Finish with Clasp: Complete the bracelet by adding a Cup Button for the clasp and creating a loop with seed beads on the other end for closure.

    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.
