    Starting the Project: Thread your needle with 5.5 feet of beading thread. Begin by adding a roof bead, followed by an Iris Duo bead, separating them with 15/0 seed beads, and anchoring the pattern with 8/0 seed beads. Forming the Base: Create a circular base by repeating the initial pattern four times and connecting the ends. Layer Addition: Add another layer by introducing new Iris Duo beads in alternating colors and connecting them with roof beads and 8/0 seed beads. Embellishing: Embellish the pendant by adding Potomac crystal rondelles and additional seed beads around the edges of the Iris Duo beads.

    I watched several "how to" videos, which answered questions I had and decided to shop.  I purchased items from the videos and look forward to using them.

    The pull-down menu under the "learn about" tab for "bead patterns" did not work, so I could not shop for patterns this time.
