The project demonstrates how to build two decorative beaded caps, stitch them together around the core bead, and reinforce the structure. This beadwork component is both stylish and versatile, ideal for use on leather cords, necklaces, bracelets, or as a focal pendant in more elaborate jewelry designs.

Quick Project Steps
Create First Cap:
Stitch a circle of alternating GemDuos and 11/0 seed beads. Add a 4mm round bead between each GemDuo to form the outer structure. Embellish the outer edge with crystal bicones and seed beads for sparkle.
Make Second Cap:
Repeat the same steps as the first cap using new thread or continue with existing thread.
Insert Core Bead:
Place the 14mm round bead between the two beaded caps.
Connect Both Caps:
Use right-angle weave with 3mm bicones and 11/0 seed beads to stitch the caps together around the core bead. Reinforce your thread path as you go for stability.
Finish the Beaded Bead:
Weave through the outer layers, adding extra beads if needed for a snug fit. Tie off and weave in threads securely.
Add to Necklace or Cord:
Use a headpin, beading wire, or a loop of seed beads to connect the component to your necklace or earring findings.
