    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare the Beads: Gather seed beads (11/0 and 15/0), 3mm bugles, and 12mm rivoli. Thread your size 6 Dragon Thread onto a size 12 beading needle. Create the Bezel Base: Use a combination of 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads to form the initial loop. Work in a right-angle weave pattern to create the four corner structure. Secure the Rivoli: Insert the 12mm rivoli into the bezel and continue with the right-angle weave, adding seed beads to tighten the structure and secure the crystal in place. Build the Outer Frame: Add rows of 3mm bugles and 15/0 seed beads around the bezel to create a decorative outer frame. Add Embellishments: Optionally, incorporate 2mm pearls into the design for extra flair. Final Adjustments: Complete the outer row of beads and make any necessary tension adjustments. Finish off by weaving in the thread ends securely.
