    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather quad bow beads, TU et beads, 15/0 seed beads, 2mm crystals, and the required thread and needles. Set Up the Clasp: Use a size 8 Dragon thread with size 10 needles. Attach the clasp and reinforce it by threading through multiple times. Start the Pattern: Use seed beads and TU et beads to create the initial crisscross pattern. Ensure that each bead placement mirrors the opposite side. Add Quad Bow Beads: Place the quad bow beads, stitching through each hole in sequence. Secure the bead with seed beads and crystals as you progress. Reinforce and Connect Sections: Repeat the crisscross technique and strengthen connections by looping through multiple bead rows. Finish with the Clasp: Add a final row of beads and secure the other side of the clasp. Reinforce the area to prevent any thread from loosening. Embellish (Optional): Glue a cabochon into the clasp for a decorative touch. Let it dry and trim any excess thread.

    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.
