    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Lay out WaveTrio beads, Potomac Crystal Disco Balls and Bicones, Resin Rivoli, and Miyuki Seed Beads. Start Interior: Use 8/0 seed beads and WaveTrio Beads, ensuring they face inward with a 4mm bicone in between. Tie Ends: Secure the string ends together to form the base circle. Bezel Rivoli: Add seed beads around the Rivoli to bezel it into place, ensuring it's snug and centered. Add Disco Balls: Incorporate 6mm Disco Balls between the WaveTrio Beads for added sparkle. Insert Bicones: Place 4mm Bicones between WaveTrio Beads for additional detail. Reinforce and Decorate: Add and reinforce with an 8/0 seed bead at the top of each edge for a finished look. Attach Wire Guard: For those opting to use a wire guard, add it to the top as a finishing touch.
