Quick Project Steps

Prepare your materials: 4mm Swarovski crystals, seed beads in two colors, a beading needle, and beading thread.
Start with a stop bead and create a base using a 3x3 right angle weave (RAW) technique.
Build three rows of RAW, each three units wide, to form the base structure.
Solidify the structure by adding seed beads along the edges of the RAW units.
Embellish one side of the structure with 4mm Swarovski crystals, sewing them in between the RAW units.
Repeat the embellishment process on the opposite side to mirror the first side.
Attach an ear wire to the top seed bead using wire and an additional crystal for an elegant finishing touch.
