Use only galvanized round seed
beads. Different finishes can affect
the size of seed beads, which
might result in an uneven look.
Knots arent required in this
project. Numerous thread
reinforcements keep the beads in
place and provide the structure
needed for the turnarounds.
Using tight tension is
recommended.
