Post a Tip about this Tutorial

simple but very effective! thank you for sharing

Thank you for your tutorial. It looks great, especially the part that makes it a quick thing to do. We could all use a little more "quick" in our lives; 24 hours just isn't enough time in a day. Thanks again, have a great week!

I've been an artist in other mediums for 15yrs. I've starting making jewelry a year ago...Reactions from stores & galleries...designs = great, color combo = great, materials = great but they FELL APART !!! There is nothing like the basics! Thank you

Very clear and easy to follow directions. Clever use of a single bead especially if you don't have any coordinating beads in your stock! Thanks again for another fantastic tut!!

Great instructions. I am only at the 'will I be able to make jewellery that looks good' stage but feel able to try this. Just need to order some goodies now.

Simply, but this is the way to big project ! , great !
