Use size 11/0 seed beads, any 3mm bead type, any 4mm bead type and pretty much any two-hole bead (Preciosa Candy beads, Honeycomb beads, DiamonDuo beads, Czech 2-hole 6mm cabochons, Czechmates 7mm 2-hole cabochon beads, Silky beads and probably many more that I haven’t even tried yet) to create a single or double band. The variations are endless. This pattern matches my X-Necklace & Earrings pattern.
