    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather all the beads and materials listed.
    Start the First Component: Use five DiscDuo Beads in Zinc Iris and five DiamonDuo Minis in Pastel Burgundy. Thread these onto your wire, ensuring they face the same direction.
    Form the Component: Tie the beads into a circle, ensuring the knot is tight to prevent opening.
    Add Seed Beads and Chatons: Sew through the beads, adding Miyuki Seed Beads and Potomax Crystal Chatons between the larger beads for detail and sparkle.
    String Components Together: Once all seven components are created, string them together to form the necklace, adjusting the length as desired.
    Finish with a Clasp: Attach a Cup Button or your choice of clasp to finish the necklace securely.
