Quick Project Steps

Start with 2-Hole Cabochon Beads: Arrange three cabochon beads in a triangle, using 11/0 seed beads as spacers. Leaf Creation: Use square stitch weaving to create the leaves, starting with the first leaf and adding Miyuki Delica beads for detail. Join Leaves to Center: Connect each leaf to the central cabochon bead assembly. Embellish Leaves: Add Delica beads to the edges of the leaves for extra detail and texture. Complete the Component: Finish by adding a backing of Ultrasuede or attaching a pin back or earring post, depending on the desired final product.
