    Quick Project Steps

    Begin with five feet of green wildfire beading thread on a size 12 English beading needle. Start with mini duo and pastel bordeaux, a mini duo in pastel lilac, a super duo in turquoise picasso, 15 0c beads in duracoat galvanized champagne, and some two millimeter bicones in metallic purple. Start with a stop bead, leaving about 10 inches at the end of the thread to add the clasp later. Begin by adding four super duos in green color, letting them drop next to the stop bead, and then proceed with right angle weave with a twist.
