Join Odin and learn all about the African Helix Stitch. Learn this fundamental beading technique to get started with jewelry making and creating your very own handmade creations.
African Helix is one of the few techniques where you add on stitched using the thread bridges of other beads instead of through the beads themselves. Customize your designs by changing up the size of seed beads, and experiment with twists by playing with color!
