    Quick Project Steps

    Cut two pieces of Rattail Satin Cording in different colors to about three feet each.
    Tie an overhand knot about 12 inches from the ends, creating a loop for the bracelet.
    Arrange the cords with the longer pieces on the outside and the shorter pieces in the middle.
    Use the right-hand cord to create a 'Snoopy's ear' shape, then cross the left-hand cord over and thread it through, pulling tight to start the spiral pattern.
    Continue the pattern, always starting the 'Snoopy's ear' shape on the right side, to maintain the spiral effect.
    Once the bracelet reaches the desired length, finish with a knot, leaving enough room to fit through the loop created at the start.

    My beading ruler was very marred and scrapped. Also, I received my other 2nd packed and it was unsealed in my mailbox. Thankfully everything was there.

    Don’t like add-on selling when trying to complete order.

    No problems with the order or the delivery. The beads' colors look different in person but trying to judge colors online can be challenging.

    I look forward to shopping at Potomac Beads.

    I wish Delica Beads were not sorted my finish. I don't always know what finish I want. And, I wish DB numbers and names didn't change which makes it so hard to match. Customer Service was very helpful to help me find the color closest to what I already had but didn't exist in Potomac's inventory. Thanks

    I am fairly new to Potomac Beads, but have been completely satisfied with the quality of items and the speed in which they are shipped. (Beads actually arrive before I forget what I was going to do with them!) SCORE!
