    Quick Project Steps

    Starting the Core: Use five green Mini GemDuo beads, ensuring the flat side faces down. Tie them into a floral shape with Dragon thread. Expanding the Star: Add red Mini GemDuo beads and 11/0 or 15/0 Miyuki Seed Beads between the second holes of the green beads. Building the Shape: Sew through the beads, adding more seed beads around the red GemDuos to expand the star. Finalizing and Attaching: After adding seed beads around the outer edge, attach a wire guard at the top for connecting to ear wires. Finish by sewing the thread back to the starting point and tie off.
