The beaded spiral rope lets you easily mix bead materials and shapes, play with complex color patterns, even work it single-, double-, or triple-spiraled for any length you like. The stitch is simple - loops of beads surrounding a single core. Practice the double-spiral technique described here, then use it to create a beaded candy cane.
