• Step 1

  Thread the fishing line onto the needle

• Step 2

  Tie on a stopper bead. A stopper bead is a bead the same size or smaller than the smallest bead you are using. String through it twice to hold it in place.

• Step 3

  Add 6 seed beads, 1 crystal and 1 seed bead.

• Step 4

  Go back through the crystal, and pull tight.

• Step 5

  String on another 6 seed beads, a crystal, and this time 4 seed beads.

• 

  Step 6

  Go back through the first seed bead you strung on, through the same way you came from originally. Then back through the crystal.

• Step 7

  Continue in this manner, adding 6 seed beads between each section, crystals next to each end, and ends alternating between a single seed bead, and a 4 seed bead circle.

• Step 8

  This should form a zigzag pattern with the 4 bead circles on one end, and the single beads on the other, as in the diagram.

• 

  Step 9

  Stop when you have 6 of each types of ends. 12 points all together.

• Step 10

  The thread should now be coming out of the crystal, in readiness for the 6 seed bead centre. Now instead of starting a new 6 bead section, just string back through the first section, all the way through the first 6 seed beads, the crystal, and the end seed bead.

• 

  Step 11

  ou should now have a rough circle. String through the next single seed bead, at the next point, then the next.

• 

  Step 12

  Continue through them all. Then go through them all again.

• Step 13

  Tie off, and thread through a few beads. Remove stopper bead, tie, and thread through a few beads.
