Quick Project Steps

Start by threading your needle with Wildfire thread and creating a small loop with 11/0 seed beads.
Use Peyote stitch to expand the loop into a base for the crescent beads.
Integrate crescent beads with 15/0 seed beads in between each, focusing on their orientation for the desired lantern effect.
Continue building the bead structure with alternating layers of 8/0 and 11/0 seed beads, utilizing Peyote stitch.
Complete the bead by mirroring the initial steps, securing and trimming the thread ends.
Consider making a stretch bracelet or exploring other jewelry pieces using the beaded beads.
