    Quick Project Steps

    Preparation: Gather all materials and tools. Thread your needle with a comfortable length of beading thread.
    Base Construction: Begin by creating the base around the Cabochon Par Puca using Iris Duo beads, starting from the inner edge.
    Layering: Add layers of Iris Duo beads in different colors, interspersed with Miyuki 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads to create depth and pattern.
    Detailing: Incorporate Toho Demi Rounds to add texture and contrast, ensuring each layer complements the last.
    Finishing: Add a bail to the top of the pendant for a necklace or attach it to a pin backing for a brooch. Reinforce all thread paths for durability.
