    Quick Project Steps

    Create the Tree Trunk: Use four 11/0 seed beads to form the base of the trunk. Pass through beads to reinforce and secure. Add the First PieDuo Bead: Attach the first PieDuo bead upright using a square stitch method. Build the Tree Layers: Add additional PieDuo beads, stacking them to create the tree shape. Insert 15/0 seed beads between layers for decorative tinsel. Secure the Tree Top: Add a 2mm crystal or bead at the top of the tree. Use a wire guard for reinforcement and thread protection. Reinforce the Structure: Thread through all beads multiple times to tighten and stabilize. Decorate and Finish: Add 15/0 seed beads along the sides for more tinsel. Tie off the thread, trim excess, and attach ear wires for the final touch.

    Thanks for getting back to me. Everything I ordered was in stock.

    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.
