    Quick Project Steps

    Start with a Two-Needle Right Angle Weave Stitch: Using RounDuo® Mini Beads, begin the base of the pendant with a two-needle right angle weave stitch.
    Add Embellishments: Incorporate Miyuki Seed Beads between the RounDuo® Minis to create a detailed netting around the pendant.
    Complete the Circle: Join the ends of your beadwork to form a complete circle, preparing it for the outer embellishments.
    Outer Embellishments: Add additional seed beads around the outer edge of the pendant for a decorative finish.
    Create a Bail: Use seed beads to create a simple loop at the top of the pendant for hanging.
    Final Touches: Secure the thread ends and trim any excess to complete your Winter Blues Pendant.
