    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather all the beads and materials listed.
    Start the First Component: Use five DiscDuo Beads in Zinc Iris and five DiamonDuo Minis in Pastel Burgundy. Thread these onto your wire, ensuring they face the same direction.
    Form the Component: Tie the beads into a circle, ensuring the knot is tight to prevent opening.
    Add Seed Beads and Chatons: Sew through the beads, adding Miyuki Seed Beads and Potomax Crystal Chatons between the larger beads for detail and sparkle.
    String Components Together: Once all seven components are created, string them together to form the necklace, adjusting the length as desired.
    Finish with a Clasp: Attach a Cup Button or your choice of clasp to finish the necklace securely.

    My son gave me a gift card for Christmas which he found easy to purchase (did it online). I ordered practical items that I use all of the time. I added the clip on magnifier light because you can't have enough magnification. It has quite a large viewing area and I was very pleasantly surprised. It seemed like it took a while for this package to arrive, but I have plenty of projects to keep me busy. The only contact I gave was when I was asked if the package had arrived.
