Bead Goof Note and Tip: You’ll notice, if you look closely, that my beads look a little off as far as count in some of my scans. Yes, I goofed! After I made these, I noticed I had missed a seed bead, so here’s what I did, and you may find this tip helpful if this ever happens to you. I have to admit this isn’t the first time I’ve done this.
After I noticed I had missed a seed bead, I decided to get rid of the other seed beads. I did this by using my flat-nosed pliers and breaking the beads off the wire. Now, obviously, you can’t do this with every design, but I’ve done this a few times with success. It’s a heck of a lot better than remaking the piece all over again.
