    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials:
    Gather a needle, thread, 8/0 and 11/0 seed beads, fireline thread, thread cutters, and a bead donut.
    Starting the Stitch: Use the bead donut as a starting point, creating a loop like a stop bead to secure the thread.
    Adding the First Beads: Begin by adding two 8/0 seed beads, threading underneath the thread bridge and up through the last bead added.
    Continuing the Stitch:
    Continue adding one seed bead at a time, securing each under the thread bridge and back up through the bead.
    Completing the First Row: To finish the first row, thread down through the first seed bead added, underneath the thread bridge, and back up through the bead to secure the ring.
    Starting New Rows: Begin each new row with two seed beads, adjusting for size as necessary. Transition to 11/0 seed beads for finer detail.
    Finishing the Piece: Continue the pattern, finishing each row as before. Use the stitch to create various jewelry pieces, attaching components as desired.
