Quick Project Steps

Gather the required materials: a 12mm glass cabochon, Miyuki Delica 11/0, Miyuki Seed Bead 15/0, and a wire guard.
Based on the cabochon size, determine the initial bead count for the bezel using Lindsay's ultimate bezel directory.
Start the peyote stitch with a loop of 32 Delica beads for a 12mm cabochon, tying them into a simple knot to create the initial loop.
Add one more row of Delica 11/0 beads before transitioning to Miyuki 15/0 beads for further embellishment and customization.
Follow the tutorial to complete the bezel and customize your button with additional beads or crystals as desired.
