    Create the Tree Trunk: Use four 11/0 seed beads to form the base of the trunk. Pass through beads to reinforce and secure. Add the First PieDuo Bead: Attach the first PieDuo bead upright using a square stitch method. Build the Tree Layers: Add additional PieDuo beads, stacking them to create the tree shape. Insert 15/0 seed beads between layers for decorative tinsel. Secure the Tree Top: Add a 2mm crystal or bead at the top of the tree. Use a wire guard for reinforcement and thread protection. Reinforce the Structure: Thread through all beads multiple times to tighten and stabilize. Decorate and Finish: Add 15/0 seed beads along the sides for more tinsel. Tie off the thread, trim excess, and attach ear wires for the final touch.
