Instructions
String 11 #15 seed beads on a head pin then create a wrapped loop.
Use an oval jump ring to attach the beaded drop to the loop of a leaf charm. String the jump ring onto a chain.
Add an arm's length of Fireline thread to a beading needle.
Pick up four #15 seed beads. Leaving a 6-inch tail, pass through the last bead again and pull tight to form a diamond.
Pick up two beads. Pass through the bead "behind" the last bead passed through in the diamond. Pull tight to sit the new beads on the previous row. Repeat until the length of chain stitch is the desired length.
Pick up eight seed beads and a closed jump ring then pass back into the chain stitch to form a loop. Tie a small knot and trim any excess thread.
Add the beading needle to the tail at the beginning of the chain stitch. Repeat, adding the loop of a lobster claw clasp in place of the jump ring.
String three #15 seed beads onto a head pin and create a wrapped loop. Repeat to create a total of four beaded drops.
String one beaded drop, one leaf charm and a second bead drop onto a 4x3mm jump ring. Repeat to create a second dangle.
Use a new jump ring to attach one dangle to an ear wire. Repeat to complete the second earring.
