Windsong.....it's one wrap around the center.
When you reach the beginning of your twistie do not melt off the end.
To get a nice crossover cut it off with a nipper.
Kristin......the 4 stripes should be of one color, either White/Ivory or a silver glass like Triton/Gaia.
Of course you can put on 6 or 8 stripes. But the finished bead will have very thin and subtle stripes.
The reshaping into a cylinder will straighten out the twisted lines.
It looks like this:
More clear and reshaping and it looks like this:
Oh, and don't be fooled if you can't see white stripes while your bead is still hot. They become visible when the bead cools off.
Hope that helps.
