Introduce EVA beads and DiscDuos, alternating with Miyuki Seed Beads to build up the pendant's body.
Complete the design by adding a wire guard at the top for hanging, ensuring the pendant's durability and wearability.

My 3rd order, I really enjoy the site, lot's of beading options, free patterns and tutorials. Quick shipping also! I'm tired of ordering from the same jewelry making company that I have ordered from for years. I like the smaller, company feel, it feels more personal, and I like their choices of what they carry.
