1. Cut a three foot length of C-Lon size D beading thread. String one 12mm Swarovski Crystal Pearl (SP).
2. Pass up through the SP so that the thread wraps around the outside of the bead.
3. Repeat step 2 to reinforce the thread wrap.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to make a second thread wrap on the opposite side of the bead.
5. String two Miyuki size 5/0 Triangle beads (TR5).
6. Pass the needle under the thread wrap to the right.
7. Turn and pass up through the second TR5 bead. Both of the TR5 beads should now be sitting securely on the surface of the SP.
8. String one Miyuki size 11/0 seed bead and one TR5. Pass the needle under the thread wrap to the right.
9. Turn and pass up through the TR5 securing it into place. The 11/0 will sit on the thread bridge connecting the last two TR5 beads.
10. String one TR5 and pass the needle under the thread wrap. Turn and pass up through the TR5.
11. String one 11/0 and one TR5. Pass the needle under the thread wrap. Turn and pass up through the TR5.
12. Repeat step 10.
13. Repeat step 11, anchoring the beads onto the left thread wrap for the first time.
14. Continue around the rest of the SP adding beads by alternating steps 10 and 11. There should be twelve TR5 beads in total.
15. String one 11/0 bead and pass down through the TR5 to the right.
16. Continue up through the TR5 to the left and nearest 11/0 to reinforce.
17. Turn and pass down through the TR5 to the right. Continue through the center hole in the SP and exit the closest TR5.
18. Rotate the entire piece clockwise 180º. String two 11/0 beads, one TR5, and two 11/0 beads. Pass down through the next TR5 to the right. This will form the first point.
19. Pass up through the next TR5 to right.
20. String two 11/0 beads, one TR5, and two 11/0 beads. Pass down through the next TR5 to the right, and continue up through the following TR5.
21. Repeat step 20 around the edge of the piece until there are six points.
22. Moving to the right pass up through the next TR5, 11/0 beads and TR5, exiting the point at its tip.
23. String seven 11/0 beads.
24. Form a loop by passing back through the TR5, moving from left to right.
25. Reinforce the loop by passing through all the beads again. Continue down through the next 11/0 and TR5 beads on the right.
26. Follow the thread path to the left, passing through a TR5, 11/0, and TR5.
27. Pass through the center hole in the SP and exit through the closest TR5.
28. Pass through all the beads in the nearest point to reinforce.
29. Secure and trim all thread tails.
30. Attach the earwire onto the loop of 11/0 beads.
