Gather all materials, including Czech Drops, seed beads, clasp, rondelles, wire guards, silver beads, and beading thread.
Start by mixing Czech Drops colors and thread them onto your needle with 11/0 seed beads in between for desired orientation.
Add a lantern bead at the beginning, followed by the mixed drops to achieve a layered look.
After stringing the drops, add rondelles and another lantern bead before securing with a clasp using wire guards.
Repeat the process for additional strands, ensuring each is similar in length for a balanced design.

I have an account with Potomac on my other email & I could not get the free clasp with the long oval so I used my other email address where I don’t have an account with Potomac. I also I tried to change the free clasp to the gold clasp & couldn’t do it. I had a hard time trying to get the deal for today. I would like the gold clasp that was offered with the purchase of long ovals that I want to make & also a pair of earrings. I am a fairly new customer & have only purchased from Potomac 1 other time. I have a bead store that I’ve done business with but it’s easier to purchase on-line with free shipping over $75..
Always a good experience. Great selection at competitive pricing.
