    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Thread: Use Dragonthread size six, cut to a half wingspan length. Thread your needle and pick up a Miyuki 11/0 seed bead, a 6mm crystal, and another 11/0 bead. Pull down to the end, leaving a short tail, and go back through the crystal and the first 11/0 bead. Add Seed Beads Around the Crystal: Pick up seven Miyuki 11/0 beads, pass through the bottom 11/0, then back up to the top 11/0. Repeat to add another seven beads around the crystal, forming a bezel. Square Stitch 15/0 Beads: Pick up a Miyuki 15/0 bead and square stitch it onto each 11/0 bead around the crystal. Ensure beads are evenly spaced and not twisted. Create Additional Beaded Beads: Repeat the process to create a total of eight beaded beads, using alternate colors for variety if desired. Connect Beaded Beads: Using new thread, square stitch the beaded beads together, forming a flower pattern. Attach each bead by stitching through adjacent beads, ensuring stability. Add the Charm: Decide on the placement of the charm. Square stitch the charm onto the central beaded bead using the wire guard protector. Create the Necklace Chain: Prepare a new thread, tie it to the bead at the back, and add Miyuki 11/0 beads in a pattern of your choice. Repeat the pattern until you have 19 sections of five pink beads, adding 15/0 and 11/0 beads in between. Attach Findings: Add the wire guard and jump ring with the lobster clasp to one end. Repeat the process on the other side with just a jump ring. Secure all threads and trim excess.
