    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare the Base Circle: String seven Es-O beads alternating with three 11/0 seed beads onto your thread. Close into a circle by passing through the first Es-O bead again. Secure and Add the Cabochon: Go through the beads again to secure the circle. Place the two-hole cabochon in the center and pass through the beads to secure it in place. Layering: Use the second hole of the Halo beads to add another layer of Es-O beads and Halo beads, securing the cabochon further. Edging and Detailing: Add an outer layer by incorporating 15/0 seed beads around the Halo beads and inserting PC Round crystals at intervals for extra sparkle. Create the Bail: Use 15/0 seed beads and a PC Round crystal to create a loop (bail) at the top of the pendant for hanging. Finishing: Ensure all beads are securely in place and cut off any excess thread.

    Thanks for getting back to me. Everything I ordered was in stock.

    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.
