    Quick Project Steps

    Create the Bezel Base: Pick up: 1 × SuperDuo → 1 × Delica → 1 × SuperDuo → 1 × Delica. Repeat until you have 6 SuperDuos and 6 Delicas, alternating. Form into a circle and reinforce the thread path. Add the Outer Layer: Step up into the second hole of each SuperDuo. Between each, add: 1 × 15/0 → 1 × Delica → 1 × 15/0. Continue around to complete the outer embellishment ring. Add the Second SuperDuo Layer: Between each outer group, add another SuperDuo, forming the second layer. Pass through the new SuperDuos’ top holes to continue building upward. Add Pico Trim on Delicas: At the center Delica of each trio: Add: 1 × 15/0 → 1 × Delica → 1 × 15/0. Stitch into the next center Delica to form pico trim points around the bezel. Insert Rivoli: Place the 14mm rivoli face-up in the center. Pull thread tight to form a snug bezel around the crystal. Reinforce: Stitch around the bezel again, going through 15/0s and Delicas to lock the rivoli in place. Flip and reinforce the backside of the bezel if needed. Add Crystals Between SuperDuos: Between each SuperDuo on the outer ring: Add: 1 × 15/0 → 1 × 3mm bicone → 1 × 15/0. Stitch into the next SuperDuo to continue embellishing. Build the Bail: Exit from a top SuperDuo. Add: 1 × 15/0 → 1 × 11/0 → 1 × 3mm bicone → 1 × 11/0 → 1 × 15/0. Loop back into the same SuperDuo and reinforce the loop 2–3 times. Reinforce and Tie Off: Stitch through multiple beads in the bezel and trim thread. Use half-hitch knots or bridge knots to secure. Burn or cut excess thread cleanly.

    Still had trouble finding the spot where my creator cash was expected it to be with coupons. But that is my problem. The website is fine. The products are fantastic and customer service is wonderful.

    I've been playing with my order for over a month. When the free past "Treasure Box" was offered for an order over 50.00, I placed my order. Shipping was to long. Website says next day shipping if order is received by 1pm . My order was placed on a Friday and their post office received it Wednesday. And, when it finally arrived, I didn't get my free Treasure Box. I had to send another email. It finally came today and the beads are to make something Christmas. No pattern, no guide or anything. Just a small box of winter and snow themed beads. My experience was not what I was hoping for. Q
