Well, you use the phattie method :3 you make a single with connecter beads on it (in my case black) and make sure there is an even number inbetween them, then you string through the black beads, stringing on another row of beads. After that, you need to string on more connecter beads and string them through the second row of beads you put on, then you can string on the last row of color through the last row of black beads you added :3 i notice it gets a bit tighter the higher you go, so just be careful about how high you go :3
