    Quick Project Steps

    Thread your needle with an arm's length of Wildfire thread.
    Begin by creating a circle with six RounDuo beads, separated by pairs of seed beads.
    Secure and tighten the circle by passing through the beads multiple times.
    Add a layer of seed beads around the RounDuo beads to prepare for setting the rivoli.
    Place the rivoli in the center and secure it by tightening the surrounding seed beads.
    Create an outer layer using piggy beads and 4mm beads for embellishment.
    Finish the design by creating a loop with seed beads for attaching the earhook.

    I spent half an hour trying to login, my password didn’t work and yet the software wouldn’t let me change my password. I couldn’t even set up a new account. Frustrating 10!
