    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Collect all the beads, thread, and tools listed in the materials section. Create the Base Pattern: Start by threading the IrisDuo, StormDuo, and RounDuo Mini beads in a specific order to form a star shape. Repeat this pattern five times to complete the circle. Form the Bezel: Tie the beads into a loop and begin threading through the outer holes of the IrisDuo beads to form the bezel for the Rivoli crystal. Add Seed Beads and Bugles: Weave in Miyuki seed beads and bugles to secure the Rivoli in place, tightening the design as you go. Embellish the Pendant: Continue adding seed beads around the StormDuo beads to create a decorative edge. Create the Chain: Use seed beads and bugles to create a simple chain, threading it through the top of the pendant. Finish the Design: Tie off any remaining thread and secure it by burning the ends. Your evening pendant is now ready to wear!
