Quick Project Steps

Start by attaching an 11/0 seed bead to a semi-circle bead, entering through the flat end and exiting the rounded side.
Add six 15/0 seed beads, then loop back through the semi-circle to create an edge decoration.
Continue adding semi-circle beads separated by 11/0 seed beads, adjusting the number based on the desired length.
Incorporate 2mm Potomac crystal rounds, gradually increasing in size to 3mm and then to 6mm disco balls for a graduated effect.
Finish the design by attaching wire guards on each end, facilitating the addition of the chain and clasp.
Secure and reinforce the wire guards and trim any excess thread.
