Love this design! Seed beds and bicones rock. Cannot wait to decide on my beads and then select the infinity clasp to go with my beads. Your directions are so clear. I have been beadweaving for 20 years and I am dyslexic, so easy to understand directions are a must. Keep up the good work!

Allie: A few questions for you regarding the finishing of this bracelet. Will the basic framework of the bracelet (the RAW) section "shrink" when you do the crystal embellishments? How much would you say, quarter inch? Just so we are sure we make it long enough but not too long! Also, is it possible to finish the bottom side of the RAW frame after the embellishments to make it sit up from your arm, like we did on the Wimbledon bracelet? Thank you for another lovely piece of jewelry. I look forward to your response.

[@ingridexel5525]

Wow, so pretty! Where I live - in the middle of the indian ocean - I won't be able to get all the sizes/kinds of beads that you are using for this lovely bracelet, as I haven't found a company yet, that would ship quality beads over to here. Nevertheless, your tutorial instantly gives me new ideas for those beads that I do have. Thank you very much, dear Allie.

Süpersiniz Thank you so much TURKIYE ❤️👀❤️

[@Potomacbeadco]

Thank you!

[@ellenschroeder6014]

Whats is the right monofilament for beading and is easy to thread the eye of the needle ? At the same time makes the jewelry piece lay flat.

[@Potomacbeadco]

We like to use a DragonThread Size 6 and a BeadTech size 10 needle. You can find them at www.potomacbeads.com

سلامتك علي

[@lauramcknight2321]

The only thing that worries me is the durability of the materials used. The matte seed beads *may* be durable coated but the clasps are almost certainly plated which means they won't retain their lovely colour.

[@Potomacbeadco]

You can always apply a coat of Permalac Clear Protective Coating to any metal bead or clasp to help keep the color longer. Here is the link if you would like to get some! www.potomacbeads.com/tools-supplies/protective-coatings/permalac-clear-protective-coating-8ml-bottle-semi-gloss.html

[@lauramcknight2321]

​@@Potomacbeadco No, thank you. I rather have a hard wearing material rather than having to apply and reapply a coating. I realise it isn't common but I'd like to see more decorative clasps in things like solid stainless steel.
