In this video from PotomacBeads Allie teaches you how to make her "Paintbrush Necklace" design using just 2 sizes of Miyuki seed beads.
Technique Learned: Herringbone
Prepare Your Materials: Gather all beads and tools listed in the materials section.
Start the Herringbone Base: Using 8/0 seed beads, create a tubular herringbone base. Begin with a length of thread, adding a stop bead to prevent beads from falling off.
Add Colors for the Paintbrush Effect: Incorporate 11/0 seed beads between the herringbone stitches to introduce colors. Progress by increasing and then decreasing the number of 11/0 seed beads used between the 8/0 seed beads to form a paintbrush tip effect.
Joining and Finishing: After reaching the desired length, remove the stop bead and weave both ends together seamlessly. Secure the threads and trim any excess.
Customization: Feel free to adjust the length, color scheme, or bead sizes as per your preference to make the necklace uniquely yours.

Reviews indicate supplies may not be complete. I was hoping to ship this to another address but didn’t see that option available. So I’ll need to pay two shipping fees.

Found it extremely difficult to bring up “oval clasp”. Searched the whole site and would key in “oval clasp” and wouldn’t come up. Was ready to cancel order out of frustration.
