    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: RounDuo Minis (in desired color). Montees (SS16 or SS20 for embellishments). 8/0 and 15/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread. Size 11 or 12 beading needle. 6mm bicones for spacers. Lobster clasp and crimp beads for finishing. Create the Base: Thread four RounDuo Minis, each separated by a 15/0 seed bead. Tie the beads into a loop to form the first right-angle weave (RAW) unit. Build Additional RAW Units: Add more RounDuo Minis and seed beads to connect and form the bead structure. Continue building until the desired size of the beaded bead is achieved. Embellish with Montees: Place Montees diagonally across the bead using 15/0 seed beads for attachment. Ensure the Montees are secured tightly by passing through the beads multiple times. Reinforce the Design: Pass through all the beads again to strengthen the bead’s structure. Check for any loose connections and tighten them. Assemble the Necklace: String the completed beaded beads onto beading cable. Add 6mm bicones and seed beads as spacers between each beaded bead. Attach the Clasp: Secure the lobster clasp with crimp beads. Test the necklace for durability by gently tugging on the ends. Final Adjustments: Space out the beads as desired for balance and visual appeal. Trim excess thread and burn any frayed edges with a thread burner.
