Spiral bead ropes have been around for awhile, but the infinite variety of looks you can achieve with them never fails to amaze and delight. Simply varying the sizes, shapes, or colors of the beads can produce entirely different effects. And these fancy ropes have the added advantage of being surprisingly easy to make compared to many needle-and-thread beading projects.
