    This close-up shows needle 2; do the same with needle 1. Pass the needle under the thread, bring it around, go through your own loop, and pull tight.

  7. Needle 1: pass through this small gold beadNeedle 2: pass through this green glass bead

    Go back the way you came to hide the thread in the beads.
