STEP 1
String all beads in this pattern:
STEP 2
After all beads are on strands, gather all together making sure the bottom spacer bar is centered at the base of the bead design.
STEP 3
 |
|
With all the strands together, make a knot as close to the top of the beads as possible and trim off the excess. |
STEP 4
 |
|
Having done this, make about a 1/4 inch hook in your wire and hook through the center of your bead loops. Glue knot and hook. Trim off excess thread. |
STEP 5
 |
|
Now thread hook wire through the cone, concealing the knot and hook area. Make a loop and coils with the exposed wire, trim off excess and attach earwire. |
STEP 6
Open loop of earwire, attach to looped top wire and close loop. Repeat Steps 1 - 6 to create second earring.
