The Designer’s suggested colors and materials:

Cube Beads

RounDuo® Beads

Miyuki Seed Beads 11/0

Miyuki Seed Beads 8/0

Cup Buttons

Start with threading two needles on a 6-foot piece of beading thread, attaching a Cup Button at the center.
Begin the central row: Alternate between CrissCross beads and Round Duo beads, separated by three Miyuki 11/0 seed beads.
For the sides: Add Round Duo beads in an alternate color, linking them with the central row using a square stitch method and incorporating 8/0 seed beads for extra detail.
Reinforce the closure loop by threading through it multiple times for durability.
Secure the ending with knots, apply glue for additional security, and trim excess thread with a thread burner for a clean finish.
