    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: SuperDuo beads. StormDuo beads. 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread. Wire guards. Earring findings. Create the Base Circle: Thread five SuperDuo beads onto Dragon Thread. Tie into a secure loop with an overhand knot. Add StormDuo Beads: Position StormDuo beads between the SuperDuo beads. Ensure the "necks" of the StormDuos face each other to form tulip petals. Enhance with Seed Beads: Add 11/0 and 8/0 seed beads to create a decorative border. Thread through all beads multiple times to secure and tighten the structure. Build the Second Component: Repeat the process with fewer beads to create a smaller, complementary top piece. Connect Components: Use wire guards to attach the smaller top component to the larger bottom piece. Thread through the wire guard multiple times for strength. Attach the Crystal Drop: Thread a crystal onto the bottom of the larger component. Secure with a triangle of seed beads for stability and elegance. Add Earring Findings: Attach earring hooks to the top component using the wire guard. Finalize the Earrings: Tighten all threads, trim excess, and ensure symmetry. Repeat the steps to create the second earring.

    I love buying from Potomac, shopping is easy and the order arrives in a timely fashion. This was my first time buying kits, I love that I have extra beads now to add to my stash! I will be looking for more sales on kits to purchase again! Thank you for all you do to make my beading addiction more fun!
