    Quick Project Steps

    Begin with threading a needle with DragonThread and add a stop bead. String four 8mm beads (or your chosen size) with an 8/0 seed bead after each, forming a box shape. Add three 2mm pearls between the larger beads, connecting them with the right-angle weave technique. Continue the pattern, alternating between the main beads and connecting them with pearls and 8/0 seed beads. Once the desired length is reached, remove the stop bead and attach your choice of clasp. Finish by securing the thread ends with a burner.
