Quick Project Steps

Gather all materials, including Czech Drops, seed beads, clasp, rondelles, wire guards, silver beads, and beading thread.
Start by mixing Czech Drops colors and thread them onto your needle with 11/0 seed beads in between for desired orientation.
Add a lantern bead at the beginning, followed by the mixed drops to achieve a layered look.
After stringing the drops, add rondelles and another lantern bead before securing with a clasp using wire guards.
Repeat the process for additional strands, ensuring each is similar in length for a balanced design.
Finish by reinforcing the clasp area and tying off the thread securely.
