    Quick Project Steps

    Start with your cut button, threading one needle through one hole and the other needle through the opposite hole. Add three 11/0 seed beads on each needle, then add your first Helios Par Puca bead. Continue by adding MobyDuo beads on each needle, ensuring they are picked up with the correct orientation, and then cross through an 11/0 seed bead with both needles going in opposite directions to secure the structure.
