    Quick Project Steps

    Start with creating a square frame using Bugle beads and 11/0 seed beads, connecting each Bugle bead with an 11/0.
    Embellish each corner of the square frame with groups of three 11/0 seed beads.
    Secure a 10mm Rivoli at the center using a series of 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads to create a snug bezel.
    Enhance the cross's arms by ladder-stitching additional Bugle beads onto each side, forming a triangular shape.
    Add decorative edges around the Rivoli and the outer frame with 11/0 seed beads to finalize the pendant’s detailed look.
    Consider making a simple chain using leftover Bugle beads and 15/0 seed beads for a cohesive finish.

    I love everything about Potomac beads, except for the dragon fire white thread. I bought the time before it was a 250 spool and I bought 5 pound because the 6 pound I had was just humongous you've done some changing with your threads since the last time I bought some. I fell and broke my right arm and my rotator cuff and wasn't able to be for quite a while. I just pulled out the 5 pound white thread. I bought the time before and tried it. I don't even think I could bezel with it. The 6 pound does beautiful. I took one arm span of thread off the spool and I won't be using it. It's a shame because I truly love yours thread.
