Quick Project Steps

Gather all materials and organize them by color and size.
Start with a micro spacer, adding two millimeter rounds with an 11/0 seed bead between each round to form the first flower.
Secure the rounds by passing through the opposite side of the micro spacer.
Embellish the flower with 15/0 seed beads, creating a detailed petal effect.
Connect the first flower to the second using an 11/0 seed bead and another micro spacer, repeating the flower-making process with different colored rounds for each family member's birthstone.
Continue adding flowers until the bracelet reaches the desired length.
Finish with a loop of seed beads for the clasp and attach a decorative button.
Glue chatons into the center of each micro spacer for a polished look.

Happy with the products, but disappointed that it so long to receive it. Item was ordered on April 29th and they shipped on April 30th first class mail- it finally came on May 21st. Good thing it wasn't anything that was needed right away.

It's obnoxious that the site tries to sell customers other things during the checkout process. The purchase button is brighter and more noticeable than the "No thanks" button, which probably tricks many naive customers and makes them not want to shop here again.
