    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather SuperDuos, seed beads (8/0, 11/0), pearls, bicone crystals, Dragon thread, and a size 10 needle. Create the Center Base: Thread 6 SuperDuo beads and tie into a circle. Step up through the second hole of each bead. Add Right Angle Weave Units: Place an 8/0 seed bead between each SuperDuo. Create clusters by adding three more 8/0 beads and circling back through the initial bead. Form the Outer Snowflake Design: Add three SuperDuos and a sequence of seed beads, pearls, and crystals to form decorative peaks. Reinforce stitches for added durability. Finish with Wire Guard: Add a wire guard at the top for hanging or attaching to a necklace. Reinforce and Secure: Go through all outer beads one more time for a stiff and secure finish. Burn off thread ends and your pendant is ready!
