How to make a Rectangular Beaded Bead

You can lengthen the beaded bead by adding more rows. I think one row makes a nice looking spacer bead. Also, experiment with adding more seed beads and crystal beads per row.

How to Make an Ornate Beaded Bead

This beaded bead follows similar technique as the crystal ball. Most people use 3 or 4 mm Czech fire polished beads or swarovski crystal beads + seed beads to make this ball.

I ended up flattening one side of the ball and beaded a ring band to the sides to make it a ring.
