1. Begin with about three feet of thread with a size 12 needle. Add a stop bead. Pick up a miniduo and an EVA bead, making sure it points upward. Add four seed beads, a rondelle and four more seed beads. Bring the thread back down through the second hole of the EVA. Add another miniduo and three delica beads, go back up the miniduo and add another EVA bead. Repeat the pattern four times to make a lotus star design.
2. The next step is to add 11/0s and rounduo minis around the outside, adding a wireguard as you go. You can watch detailed steps in the Lotus Star Earrrings tutorial.
3. Fill in the interior with crystal rondelles sewn through the delica beads.

Lots of problems finding the beads I wanted to order. Checkout site refused to scroll back so I could learn what I didn't complete. Online site does not appear to be user-friendly. I have trouble nearly every time I try to order from Potomac.
