Cut 24 inches of beading thread, add a stop bead.
Start with a right angle weave (RAW) pattern: crystal + two seed beads, repeated four times.
Embellish each RAW unit with 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads in a specific pattern to create corners and central diamonds.
Repeat the RAW unit creation and embellishment process to build four sides of the bead.
Connect the sides at the top and bottom, creating the drum shape by adding and connecting additional seed beads for embellishment.
Finish by weaving in the thread ends and trimming excess thread.
