Step 2: * Add (1) RDA and pass through the free hole in the next RDA. Repeat from * the whole way around. Once you add the last RDA, pass through the next RDA and the bottom hole of the first added RDA. Come out through the second top hole of that RDA.

Step 6: * Add (3) 11/0`s and pass through the next RDA. Repeat from * the whole way around. Come out through the (3) 11/0`s on the top of RDB.

Step 4: * Add (4) 11/0`s, skip the (1) RDB and pass through the next one. Repeat from * the whole way around. Before you add the last (4) 11/0, put your Crystal Rivoli into place. Pull the thread and pass one more time through the beads to reinforce the central line. Come out through the RDB.

Step 1: Thread a 2 foot length of beading thread onto your needle. Pick up (8) RounDuo A (RDA) with (1) 11/0 between each (start with the RDA, end with the 11/0). Leave about 2“ thread tail and tie a square knot. Pass through the second hole of the first added RDA.

Step 5: * Add (2) 11/0`s and pass through the outer hole in the open RDB, that is closest. Add (2) 11/0`s and pass through the next RDB that is closest to the Rivoli. Repeat from * the whole way around. Pull the thread. Weave the needle and the thread through your work and come out through the RDA in the second row back.

Step 7: Create a ladder stitch bail. * Add (3) 11/0`s and pass back through the (3) 11/0`s on the opposite side. Go up through the (3) 11/0`s that you just added. Repeat from * for the desired length of the bail.

Once you add the last row, pass through the second hole of the RDA in the first row. Pass back through the last (3) 11/0`s to connect the bail. Pass again through the RDA. Repeat one more time to reinforce. Weave the needle and the thread through your work and tie a knot. Glue and cut off the extra thread. Burn the thread ends.

Step 3: * Add (1) RounDuo B (RDB) and pass through the free hole in the next RDA. Repeat from * the whole way around. Come out through the first added RDB. Pull the thread and pass through the second hole of that RDB.
