Pull up one bead from the wire spool and include this in the next stitch then add one plain stitch.

Repeat Step 3 until you have 25 beads included on your wire.

Add 3 more plain chain stitches. Pull the wire tight and cut off the wire leaving about 2” on the end for the fastening. Repeat all of the above twice until you have 3 strands of beads.
