Step-By-Step Instructions

Prepare Materials: Gather your MiniDuo beads, Miyuki Seed Beads 11/0 and 15/0, beading thread, needle, and thread burner.
Start the Base: Thread a needle with about 4 feet of beading thread. Create a core pattern with MiniDuo beads, separated by 15/0 seed beads, tied in a loop.
Expand the Star: Work through the second holes of the MiniDuos to add layers, using 11/0 seed beads to bridge gaps and expand the star's size.
Decorate the Edges: Introduce decorative edges with 15/0 seed beads to outline the star, enhancing its shape and adding detail.
Finishing Touches: Add a bail using a wire protector and a crystal rondelle for hanging. Tailor the finish for use as a pendant or earrings.
Closure: Secure and trim the thread with a thread burner, ensuring a neat finish.
