Start by threading 12 StormDuo beads, all facing the same direction, to form a circle.
Tie a knot to secure them in a loop and step up to the top hole of the same bead your thread is coming out of.
Add a new layer of StormDuo beads, picking them up in the opposite direction, and weave through the second hole of the previous row's beads.
After completing the second layer, add 12 3mm round beads, placing a 15/0 seed bead on either side of each round bead.
To finish, create a loop with 15/0 seed beads for attaching the ear wires. Secure and trim the thread.
