The side layers design is classy and very easy to do. It is done with either 6mm or 8mm Crystal beads or pearls or any other type of beads. This tutorial was a very quick one and I just simply used the beads that I saw lying around. I also used a thicker thread and that is why the crystal beads are not very straight. ase if you want to try it, do use 8mm(size8) crystal bead with 10/o (size2) seed beads. Hope you enjoy the tutorial
