Quick Project Steps

Prepare the Base: Attach a stop bead to your thread. Start with a pattern of a 15/0 seed bead, two 11/0 seed beads, another 15/0, and a 3mm round bead. Repeat to form the base of the cluster.
Form the Cluster: Use the netting technique to add rounds and seed beads, creating the decorative cluster top of the ring.
Construct the Band: Transition to ladder stitch to create a two-bead-wide comfortable and stylish band.
Complete the Design: Secure the ends with knots, hiding them within the beadwork for a clean finish.

I find it difficult to navigate the pages. When I am looking for something specific, there is not a place for me to simply type in what I am looking for.

I've been a professional beader for around 25 years. Your website and tutorials are simply the best. Well done! Don't change. Not happy with purchase of 3mm round crystal AB nor the 14mm and 18mm rivolis. Poor quality crystals. Dull.
