How to Make a 12mm Seed Bead Spiral Beaded Bead

Watch the Video

Hey everyone! In today’s video I will show you how to make a beaded bead, with a spiral design of seed beads, on a 12mm round base. I recommend using a higher-quality brand of seed beads, such as Miyuki or Toho, for a better result. The base of the bead can be almost ANY form of 12mm round bead. The ones I used happened to come in this month’s Bargain Bead Box subscription, and provided the inspiration for this tutorial. Please see below for links to similar materials and supplies:
