    Quick Project Steps

    Start with a Circle: Begin by threading six 11/0 Miyuki Seed Beads into a circle and securing them with a knot.
    Add Layers: Pick up an 11/0, an 8/0, and another 11/0 seed bead, then pass the needle through the initial circle to start forming the bead's layers.
    Incorporate Crystals: After creating the base layer with seed beads, add Potomac Crystal Rondelles between the seed beads to introduce sparkle and dimension.
    Close the Bead: Sew through all the added beads in a circular motion to tighten and secure the beaded bead's structure.
    Assemble the Necklace: Arrange the beaded beads along the necklace string, separating them with additional seed beads and bicones as desired.
    Finish with Clasps: Add crimp beads and a lobster clasp to the ends of the necklace for closure, ensuring a professional finish.
