    Quick Project Steps

    Preparing Rivolis: Start by netting around five 10mm Potomac Crystal Rivolis, using .006 Wildfire Beading Cord and 15/0 Miyuki Seed Beads.
    Netting the Chaton: Apply the same netting technique to the SS39 chaton but adjust the bead count due to its smaller size.
    Connecting Components: Use the netted prongs to connect the rivolis and chaton into a cross formation, ensuring the design is symmetrical.
    Adding the Bail: Create a bail at the top of the cross using seed beads and an additional rondelle to complete the pendant.
    Finishing Touches: Secure and trim excess threads with a thread burner, ensuring the pendant is neat and ready to wear.

    had a little difficulty getting correct amounts in the cart: site multiplied single item rather than adding additional items. Perhaps because I was trying to order from an email re: items I was waiting for?
