Quick Project Steps

Start with a stop bead on your thread, and thread through a 10mm Czech glass bead, securing it with wire protectors on both sides.
Begin the peyote stitch using 11/0 Delica beads around the Czech glass bead, alternating colors as desired.
Add two rows of peyote stitch for the base, then transition to adding 15/0 seed beads for the edging to enhance the design.
After completing the bezeling for each bead, connect them using jump rings to form the bracelet or necklace chain.
Attach the large oval spring clasp to the ends of your jewelry piece for closure.
Repeat the process for as many beads as you'd like to include in your design, exploring color variations and patterns.
