    Quick Project Steps

    Starting the Stitch: Begin with four seed beads in red, creating the foundation for the tubular herringbone stitch.
    Adding Rows: Progressively add rows with two beads each in green, periwinkle, and pink, demonstrating the stitch's growth and tubular formation.
    Creating the Tubular Shape: Through careful addition and threading, the stitch begins to take on a three-dimensional tubular form.
    Decorative Elements: Introduce 15/0 seed beads between the larger beads to cover thread visibility and add aesthetic detail.
    Expanding the Technique: Instructions on increasing the width of the herringbone tube for varied project applications.
