    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare the Base: Start by threading Iris Duos and Super Duos, ensuring the rounded side of Iris Duos faces up. First Layer of Seed Beads: Add a layer of seed beads (11/0) between the Super Duos to form a circular pattern. Securing the Rivoli: Place the Rivoli in the center, securing it with seed beads (15/0) threaded around to hold it tightly. Adding Rondelles and Second Iris Duo Layer: Embellish with Rondelles between the existing Iris Duos, then add a second layer of Iris Duos separated by 15/0 seed beads. Final Embellishments: Decorate the outer edges of the Iris Duos with additional seed beads for a finished look. Attachment: Add a jump ring for hanging the pendant on a chain or cord.
