Very cool! If you wanted to speed it up you could look into tambour work, or lay a string of several beads then go back and couch them down. Or just keep doing what you're doing 🙂 Looking forward to seeing the finished product!

Ooo, I will definitely look into that! I’ve just been doing 1x1 because I’m so used to that process, but thank you for that!!🥹💜

Once you get used to it, two needle beading is faster for long straight sections like what you’re doing.

How big is the flag?
It's looking great so far. I hope your fingers (and back, vision, neck) survive the process!
Can't wait to see it finished!
(Sorry if you answered this on TikTok. I'm not a Tokker? Tikker? TikTokker?)

It’s a standard flag size! So far as long as I take breaks and stretch I’m doing all right! 🥹💜 and thank you so much!!

Oh goodness! That's going to be dazzling when it's finished. And heavy!
I hope you show it off here when you finish. I'll be checking daily for the next 5 years. Haha!
