Using the right combination of colors, you could create a pattern in African Helix stitch that might work for you. It is a trickier stitch to master, and requires Japanese round seed beads (not Delicas) to work correctly. This video tutorial is excellent if you want to give it a try:<br /><br />http://youtu.be/B4m-SXc6EcM<WTF Storehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263314251703492801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817067647742564675.post-10319535272193323992014-01-16T19:43:09.643-08:002014-01-16T19:43:09.643-08:00hi i need to make a model of dna for an art projec...hi i need to make a model of dna for an art project and i want to know if i can use different types of beads in this stitch to give the same effect like pearls or glasss beads. please answer asap. thanx in advance. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817067647742564675.post-8446737881768804872013-11-05T12:11:37.869-08:002013-11-05T12:11:37.869-08:00Thank you, I will try do it angain and let you kno...Thank you, I will try do it angain and let you know ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17658316446514368857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817067647742564675.post-11677986222213686992013-11-05T09:43:01.939-08:002013-11-05T09:43:01.939-08:00Your tension and thread will both have an effect o...Your tension and thread will both have an effect on how flexible your rope is, although even a very stiff rope will usually curve enough for a bracelet or bangle when it is long enough.

Your thread and tension will also effect how rigid the beadwork is - a softer bangle should be smaller because it can slip off more easily.

This will pull the end of the tube together without having a lot of thread showing, and will create a fairly flush edge. If you want a more gradual taper, replace the largest bead from each round with the next smallest size until you're using just 11/o or 15/o.
