Quick Project Steps

Gather Materials: RounDuo mini beads. Miyuki 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads. 4mm crystals for embellishments. Dragon Thread. Brooch backing or pin. E6000 glue. Set Up the Thread: Attach a stop bead to your thread, leaving a tail for later finishing. Create the Base: Pick up one RounDuo mini bead and secure it in place by threading back through the same hole. Alternate three seed beads and one RounDuo mini to create a circle. Add Layers: Use the open holes of the RounDuo mini beads to add additional rows. Connect the beads with seed beads to create a layered design. Embellish with Crystals: Add crystals diagonally across the framework for sparkle. Ensure the crystals sit securely and evenly. Attach the Brooch Backing: Cut a piece of thick felt or fabric backing to match the brooch size. Glue the beadwork onto the backing using E6000 glue. Secure the Brooch Pin: Attach the pin to the backing using glue or stitching. Ensure the pin is centered and aligned for ease of use. Finalize the Design: Adjust threads, tighten the beadwork, and let the glue dry completely. Trim any excess backing or thread for a clean finish.
