    Quick Project Steps

    Bezeling the Rivolis:

    Create a base ring of Delica beads, then add layers to secure the Rivoli in place.
    Repeat the process for the 10mm Rivoli, adjusting the bead count for the smaller size.

    Use .006 Wildfire beading thread with two needles, one on each end.
    Begin with a Cup Button for the clasp, adding seed beads for decoration.
    Alternate the bezeled Rivolis, connecting them with Delica beads and Magic Blue 11/0 seed beads.

    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.
