    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Thread: Start with .006 thread and a size 12 needle, about five feet long, attaching a stop bead at one end.
    Begin Beading: String three SuperDuo beads, alternating with 11/0 seed beads, then pass the needle back through these beads to form a circle.
    Expand the Circle: Continue adding SuperDuo beads and 11/0 seed beads, following the herringbone stitch technique to develop a tubular shape.
    Build the Tubular Design: As you progress, add different colors of SuperDuo beads to create a pattern, ensuring the tubular shape is forming correctly.
    Finish the Ends: Close up the design by adding 11/0 seed beads to taper the ends, then attach wire guards and the magnetic ball clasp.
    Final Adjustments: Make sure the ends are secure, and the clasp is correctly attached, ensuring your jewelry piece is ready to wear.
