Quick Project Steps

Start with a Stop Bead: Begin your project with a stop bead on your thread to prevent beads from slipping off.
Create the Base: Use the right angle weave technique, alternating between Ios beads and Czech faceted round beads.
Embellish: Add teardrop beads and seed beads around the Ios beads for a detailed look.
Extend the Design: Continue the pattern, incorporating larger drop beads for the central section of the necklace.
Finish the Length: Transition back to smaller beads towards the ends of the necklace.
Add the Clasp: Securely attach a clasp to the ends of your necklace for easy wear.
