    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare your materials and thread the needle with an arm's span of thread.
    Start by threading four IrisDuo beads and four Ingot beads, ensuring all IrisDuos face the same direction.
    Form a loop by going back through all beads to reinforce, then tie a knot and cut the tail end.
    Step up to add a second row of IrisDuo beads between the original ones using their second holes.
    Embellish with Miyuki drops and Potomac Crystal Rounds, then add Toho Seed Beads for finishing touches.
    Create a loop with seed beads at the top for the earwire, or use a wire guard.
