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.

Nice selection. Disappointed that some basic seed beads have been out of stock for a long while and the clasps that I need are no longer in stock.
