    Quick Project Steps

    Gather all materials and tools: curved tube beads, gemstone beads, smooth round beads, clasps, crimp tubes, needle nose pliers, and wire cutter.
    Begin by attaching the beading wire to the clasp using a crimp tube.
    String the curved tube beads, gemstone beads, and smooth round beads onto the beading wire in your desired pattern. Ensure the curved tube beads are spaced evenly and vary the starting points of the tubes on each strand to create an interesting visual effect.
    Crimp the wire to the opposite side of the clasp to secure the beads.
    Repeat the process for additional strands, varying the design to create a multi-strand effect.
    Finalize the design, adjust for fit, and trim any excess wire.
