Quick Project Steps

Start with a Stop Bead: Attach a stop bead to your thread to prevent beads from slipping off.
Bead Sequence: Begin with a sequence of 15/0, 11/0, 8/0, 11/0, 15/0 seed beads, and then add a RounTrio bead. Repeat this pattern for the desired length of the necklace.
Adding the Clasp: Integrate a Cup Button or your chosen clasp by following the same seed bead sequence and attaching it to one end of the necklace.
Creating the X Pattern: Go through the third hole of the RounTrio beads and add seed beads to create an X pattern across the necklace.
Adding Decorative Elements: Using the center hole of the RounTrio beads, add additional seed beads and your choice of decorative element (e.g., Spiky Button beads) at the bottom of each loop created by the seed beads.
Finishing the Necklace: Secure the clasp on the other end, reinforce the structure by passing through the beads again, and finish off by tying and burning the thread ends.
