    Quick Project Steps

    Start with Thread Preparation: Thread a size 11 needle with size 8 Dragon thread, adding a stop bead. Linking Beads: Begin by inserting the needle through the first hole of a QuadBow bead, linking it with an IrisDuo bead, and then using crystal bicones as spacers. Decorating and Securing: Use 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads to decorate and secure the beads in place, ensuring minimal visibility of the thread and reinforcing the earring structure. Final Assembly: Attach jump rings and earwires to complete the earrings.
