    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: RounTrios (three-holed beads). 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread (size 8). 8/0 seed beads for the band. Beading needle. Prepare the Thread: Cut approximately 4-5 feet of Dragon Thread. Thread your needle and tie a stop bead to one end. Create the Base: String Round Trios, spacing them with 11/0 seed beads. Secure them into a loop by tying a knot. Add Layers of Seed Beads: Incorporate 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads around the Round Trios for embellishment. Add stabilizing beads to strengthen the central design. Form the Ring Band: Use 8/0 seed beads to construct the band. Thread through each bead in a continuous pattern to connect both ends. Size the Band: Wrap the band around a ring mandrel to measure and adjust for the desired size. Reinforce the Ring: Pass through all beads multiple times to ensure stability. Secure the thread with half-hitch knots at various points. Finalize the Design: Trim any excess thread and ensure the ring is symmetrical. Check the fit and make any necessary adjustments.
