    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: SuperDuo beads, Round Duo Minis, 2mm crystals, 2mm pearls, 15/0 seed beads, beading thread, size 11 or 12 needle, wire guard, and ear wires. Create the Base: Thread four SuperDuo beads and four Round Duo Minis onto your needle. Tie into a knot to form a base circle. Add Second Row of SuperDuo Beads: Step up through the first SuperDuo bead. Add a SuperDuo bead between each existing bead, securing them into place. Enhance with Seed Beads and Pearls: Add a 15/0 seed bead, a pearl, and another 15/0 seed bead above each Round Duo Mini. Secure the beads by sewing through the second hole of the SuperDuo beads. Form the Final Shape: Continue adding 15/0 seed beads and pearls to create a structured design. Ensure all beads are securely in place and the design is symmetrical. Attach Ear Wires: Use a wire guard to attach ear wires securely to the top of the earrings. Reinforce the attachment by sewing through the beads multiple times. Finish: Tie off any remaining thread ends, use a thread burner to trim excess thread, and ensure the earring is secure.

    Too much scrolling to find your product or color even with the filters. The filters don’t allow you to see all of the color choices for an item at one glance for example. You spend too much time finding what you want. It gets frustrating!
