Quick Project Steps

The tutorial teaches the Right Angle Weave (RAW) stitch technique, focusing on creating a strip of beadwork that forms a circle for bezeling a cabochon. The instructions include:
Start with creating a base using 3mm round beads.
Add StormDuo beads, ensuring to use only one hole initially.
Create a circular strip with alternating units involving StormDuo and seed beads.
After completing the strip, add 15/0 seed beads along the edges where StormDuo beads are present.
Join the ends of the bead strip to form a circle and start bezeling the cabochon using the second hole of StormDuo beads.
Finish the bezel, add embellishments along the edge, and create a loop for hanging.
