    Quick Project Steps

    Begin by threading a needle with about three feet of thread. Use a size 12 or 10 needle with gray size 8 Dragon thread. Thread six Super Duos separated by 11/0 beads onto the needle. Use one of the Super Duos as a stop bead. Create a circle with the threaded Super Duos and 11/0 beads, ensuring to pass the thread through all beads to form a tight circle. Add three 11/0 beads between each Super Duo, circling around and sharing one bead from the initial setup. Bring together the middle 11/0 beads from each group of three added in the previous step, without adding new beads. Introduce the ChatON by placing it in the center and securing it with 15/0 beads around it. Add Disc Duos between each Super Duo and then add more Super Duos and 11/0 beads atop the Disc Duos. Incorporate 3mm bicone crystals between the Super Duos, adding an 11/0 bead before and after each crystal. Prepare the earring for the ear wire by adding a wire guard and threading through the beads to secure it. Reinforce the earring by retracing the thread path and tying knots where necessary. Attach the ear wire to complete the earring.

    My 3rd order, I really enjoy the site, lot's of beading options, free patterns and tutorials. Quick shipping also! I'm tired of ordering from the same jewelry making company that I have ordered from for years. I like the smaller, company feel, it feels more personal, and I like their choices of what they carry.
