    Quick Project Steps

    Thread your needle with about 5 feet of beading thread.
    Create a stop bead by passing through a seed bead twice, leaving an 8-10 inch tail.
    Begin the pattern with a Super8, crystal, and another Super8, separated by 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads in a repeating sequence.
    Complete the first unit by connecting the beads in a circle and adding a button bead in the center.
    For each subsequent unit, repeat the pattern, connecting each to the previous one with crystal beads.
