- 16 pcs. Crystal bicone 3mm. (Rose Water Opal) (My friend Carol tested it with 4mm. it worked fine!)
- 8 pcs. Crystal bicone 4mm. (Amethyst)
- 8 pcs. Czech fire polished 4mm. (Not sure the color name, Lavender Pearl Coated, maybe?)
- Approx 1g. 11/0 Seed beads (Miyuki Duracoat Muscat #4206)
- Nymo D or your favorite thread
- Beading needle
If you want to add dangle, just add drop beads or any pendant bead you like.
1.
Cut the thread around one arm. Pick up [11/0 and Czech 4mm.] four times, total of eight beads. Pass through all beads again to form a tight square. Leave the tail. Exit at the 11/0 (red arrow).

Pick up crystal 4mm. three 11/0s and crystal 4mm. Pass through the next 11/0 (red arrow).
3.
Repeat step 2 all around. You should get this. Exit at 11/0 (red arrow).
4.
Pick up crystal 3mm, 11/0 and crystal 3mm. Pass through 11/0 (red arrow).
Note : The thread may be visible here. If you don't like this, you can add 15/0. (15/0, 3mm, 11/0, 3mm and 15/0) or just change to 4mm.
