Quick Project Steps

Start with Herringbone Stitch: Create a long strip of herringbone stitch, calculating rows based on the number of RounDuo Mini beads. Incorporate RounDuo Beads: Add RounDuo or RounDuo Mini beads along the strip, creating a simple, repetitive pattern. Create the Twisted Rope: Fold the beaded strip in half, connecting beads to form a 'taco' shape, inducing a twist. Add Finishing Touches: Complete the necklace by adding wire guards, jump rings, and a clasp. Optionally, reinforce the necklace by threading through the last few beads again for durability.
