    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare your materials and thread two needles with approximately five feet of beading thread.
    Start by attaching the cup button with three 11/0 seed beads, a 2-hole bar bead, and the cup button itself, then create the base for the first tulip.
    Construct the tulip using crescent beads for the outer petals and 2-hole bar beads for the inner detail, secured with 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads for added texture and contrast.
    Link each tulip together with crystal rondelle beads, repeating the process to achieve the desired bracelet length.
    Finish the bracelet by creating a loop with seed beads for the clasp mechanism.
    Secure and trim the thread ends with a thread burner, applying a dab of glue for extra security.

    I enjoy Ally's tutorials, the pieces are lovely. For every pattern I've attempted to make there have always been out-of-stock items. I've had to order from multiple sources to find all the items. Other than that, all is well.

    The delivery was great. It came on time and the company paid great attention to my product delivery. I have an art studio. I do all kinds of things from pottery, art with water colors, inks, oils, and more. But making jewelry has turned into another passion and your products are lovely and will make some great jewely. Thank you for doing what you do. I will be looking at your sight and might ask you about findings and stones too. Gracias
