Materials Used To make The  Project

Quick Project Steps

Begin with Basic Spiral Rope: Start with two colors of 11/0 Miyuki Seed Beads and one color of 8/0, creating a simple spiral rope.
Transition to Larger Beads: Gradually introduce 4mm Czech Melon Beads after a few inches of spiral rope, adjusting the bead count for the core to accommodate the larger bead size.
Incorporate Czech Drops: After another segment, add 4x6mm Czech Drops for a fuller, more textured look, maintaining the spiral pattern.
Complete the Spiral with Drops: Continue adding drops to achieve the desired thickness and length for the necklace's focal section.
Transition Back to Smaller Beads: Reverse the process, decreasing bead sizes back to 8/0 and then to 11/0 seed beads, mirroring the graduated pattern.
Attach Clasp: Finish by adding a clasp, using a table cut button and loop made from seed beads to secure the necklace.
