Step 1: Load the 10 seed beads on the thread you want to be outside, knot the two threads together and start with ring 14 ds.
Continue with chain 1-4-4-1. On the core thread load the 6mm bead and hold it with a thick paper clip or other mean.
Step 2: Reduce gap between bead and chain, work the next 7ds.
Step 3: Take the thread of the other color and work a ring: 3-8, join to the thread of the bead, and work other 9ds and join to first picot of previous chain.
Step 4: Work the next 20ds.
Step 5: Close the ring and put the chain with the bead behind the ring.

I like doing these types of things. I messed up on todays so I will be doing it over. I am attempting to make mine purple and red.
I feel like there is a step missing? When I close the ring the picots are all facing the wrong direction! And I've tried three times, Help.
