Quick Project Steps

Prepare the Base: Attach a stop bead to your thread. Start with a pattern of a 15/0 seed bead, two 11/0 seed beads, another 15/0, and a 3mm round bead. Repeat to form the base of the cluster.
Form the Cluster: Use the netting technique to add rounds and seed beads, creating the decorative cluster top of the ring.
Construct the Band: Transition to ladder stitch to create a two-bead-wide comfortable and stylish band.
Complete the Design: Secure the ends with knots, hiding them within the beadwork for a clean finish.

My 3rd order, I really enjoy the site, lot's of beading options, free patterns and tutorials. Quick shipping also! I'm tired of ordering from the same jewelry making company that I have ordered from for years. I like the smaller, company feel, it feels more personal, and I like their choices of what they carry.
