Materials Used To make The  Project

Designer's Material List

The Designer’s suggested colors and materials:
Potomac Crystal Bicones 4mm - Garnet AB Light
Miyuki Delica 11/0 - Silver-Lined Emerald
Earwires - Simple Ball Silver Plated

Step-By-Step Instructions

Thread your needle with a couple of feet of .006 pound FireLine or WildFire thread, leaving about a 6-inch tail.
Pick up a sequence of a 4mm crystal followed by an 11/0 Delica bead, repeating this pattern until you have 10 of each.
Form a circle by passing the needle through the first few beads again, pulling tight to secure the inner portion of your wreath.
Add five 11/0 Delica beads between each crystal on the inner circle to start forming the outer layer.
To create the outer layer, pass the needle through the third bead of the newly added Delicas, then add a Delica, a crystal, and another Delica before passing through the next central Delica of the outer layer.
Repeat this around the circle.
For attaching the ear wire, pass the needle through two Delicas of the outer layer, add three Delicas, the ear wire, and three more Delicas. Secure by passing back through the middle Delica and reinforcing the loop.
Finish by weaving in and cutting off any excess thread, securing knots with a bit of glue if desired.
