    Quick Project Steps

    Gather all materials and prepare your work surface.
    Start by attaching the cut button clasp with a few seed beads for decoration.
    Add an 11/0 seed bead, then seven more, and proceed by adding a 15/0 seed bead, a 6mm round bead, and another 15/0 before looping back through the seven 11/0 seed beads.
    Continue the pattern by adding sets of seven 11/0 beads and single 6mm beads, separated by 15/0s, creating a zigzag or helix pattern.
    Once the desired length is reached, create a loop of 15/0 seed beads to secure the cut button clasp.
    Finish the ends, secure the thread with knots, apply glue if desired, and trim excess thread.
