Easy way to make huichol bead patterns

Migrated topic.
I see that I forgot to mention that I gave up on using my thumb for placing beads fairly quickly.

My tools have been two large sewing needles.
One blunt and one sharp.

The blunt one is tapped once or twice in the bees wax on the inside of the bowl to make it sticky and then inserted into a
bead. Since it is blunt it won't poke trough and this is used to attach new beads.

The sharp one is for pulling out misplaced beads or for changing the pattern.
