    Quick Project Steps

    Start with a Triangle Base: Using three 11/0 Delica beads, form a triangular base by tying them into a loop with a square knot.
    First Row of Herringbone: Add two Delica beads, stitching them next to each base bead to start the herringbone pattern.
    Incorporate Peyote Stitch: Fill the spaces between herringbone sections with peyote stitch, alternating colors if desired.
    Build the Pyramid: Continue adding layers by alternating between herringbone and peyote stitches, expanding the pyramid.
    Finishing Touches: Use smaller 15/0 beads to add a refined edge to the pyramid, stitching them around the final layer.
