    Quick Project Steps

    Start with Beading: Choose two colors of 11/0 seed beads, start beading using tubelet beads to form the pendant's center. First Layer Addition: Create a circular pattern with beads, alternating between seed beads and tubelets. Connecting Quad Bows: Introduce Quad Bows, connecting them using seed beads, ensuring proper orientation for an aesthetic look. Enhancing the Design: Add beads to connect Quad Bows and stabilize the structure. Backside Work: Strengthen the pendant's back with additional beading for stability. Bail Creation: Use ladder stitch to create a bail, ensuring it's sized to fit the necklace. Clasp Attachment: Complete the pendant with a clasp, using jump rings for connection. Final Touches: Inspect and adjust the pendant, ensuring a reversible, secure, and beautiful finish.
