    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather all beads and tools as listed. Cut a length of beading thread and add a stop bead. Start with QuadBow Beads: Thread six QuadBow beads, alternating with Toho Seed Beads and MiniDuo beads, to form the base circle. Add the Second Layer: Incorporate PieDuo beads between the QuadBow beads, using Toho Seed Beads to secure them in place. Embellish with Crystals: Add Potomac Crystal Briolettes, Bicones, and Teardrops to enhance the ornament's sparkle. Create the Three-Dimensional Effect: Carefully place each bead to ensure the ornament forms a three-dimensional shape. Finish Your Ornament: Add a bail for hanging, secure and trim the thread, and your Falling Star Ornament or Pendant is complete.
