    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Thread: Start with .006 thread and a size 12 needle, about five feet long, attaching a stop bead at one end.
    Begin Beading: String three SuperDuo beads, alternating with 11/0 seed beads, then pass the needle back through these beads to form a circle.
    Expand the Circle: Continue adding SuperDuo beads and 11/0 seed beads, following the herringbone stitch technique to develop a tubular shape.
    Build the Tubular Design: As you progress, add different colors of SuperDuo beads to create a pattern, ensuring the tubular shape is forming correctly.
    Finish the Ends: Close up the design by adding 11/0 seed beads to taper the ends, then attach wire guards and the magnetic ball clasp.
    Final Adjustments: Make sure the ends are secure, and the clasp is correctly attached, ensuring your jewelry piece is ready to wear.

    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.
