Quick Project Steps
Quick Project Steps
Gather Supplies:
Get your quadbows, crystal beads (3mm or 4mm bicones), Dragon thread (size 6 or 8), and a size 11 needle.
Start the Base:
Place a stop bead on your thread. Go through the back of the navette bead and out through the front.
Add First QuadBow Unit:
String one 11/0 seed bead, then go into the fourth hole of a quadbow bead. Add three 11/0s, one crystal, and three more 11/0s. Go down through hole number one of the quadbow.
Secure QuadBow to Navette:
Add another 11/0 seed bead. Go straight through the back of the navette from one side to the other, pulling in the quadbow.
Add Second QuadBow Unit:
Add your next quadbow after an 11/0. String three 11/0s, one crystal, and three more 11/0s. Go down through the opposite side of the quadbow. Pull tight. Add an 11/0 and go through that quad bow all the way to the end.
Attach the Wire Guard:
The first quadbow you put on will become the top. Go through your first three seed beads and out after your crystal. Add one 11/0, add your wire guard, go around it, and add one more 11/0. Go into the opposite side of the bicone, so you're exiting left, adding 11/0, wire guard, 11/0, and going in from the right and exiting left. This pulls it into the center.
Reinforce and Repeat Pattern:
Go down through the three 11/0s after the bicone, through your quadbow, and out after the quadbow (not through your 11/0). Repeat the pattern of three 11/0s, one 3mm crystal (or 4mm), and three more 11/0s. Go to the opposite side of the navette to the other quadbow, through hole number four.
Continue Embellishment:
Go through the beads at the top (three seed beads, crystal, three seed beads). Go into the quadbow and out before the 11/0 seed bead. Repeat the same pattern: three 11/0s, one crystal, three 11/0s, and up through the quadbow on the opposite side.
Final Reinforcement:
Take your needle and thread up through the three seed beads, through the bicone. Reinforce around the wire guard by going through the 11/0, up through the wire guard, around it, and out through the 11/0, through the crystal, and down through the 11/0 seed beads. Bring your needle and thread through the quadbow, through the 11/0 seed bead, and out after the first hole of your navette.
Tie Off and Attach Ear Wire:
Go to the starter thread, remove the stop bead, and simply tie the two thread ends together. Burn down the thread edges. To put on the ear wire, open it by pulling to the side, slide on your wire guard, and close up your earring.

Love your products but the website doesn't work sufficiently. I was on with my partner and when we would search 18mm Rivolis different things came up. One of us had 3 pages and the other had 7 pages. We had to open another browser and start from potomac beads.com Also, when you click a down arrow for more products it won't allow you to go anywhere. It just removes the down arrow menu.
