Quick Project Steps

Introducing Cheryl's Lotus Star earrings. Whether you choose to make them with a sparkling metallic star look or a charming colorful flower look, these earrings will be sure to please.
1. Begin with about three feet of thread with a size 12 needle. Add a stop bead. Pick up a miniduo and an EVA bead, making sure it points upward. Add four seed beads, a rondelle and four more seed beads. Bring the thread back down through the second hole of the EVA. Add another miniduo and three delica beads, go back up the miniduo and add another EVA bead. Repeat the pattern four times to make a lotus star design.
2. The next step is to add 11/0s and rounduo minis around the outside, adding a wireguard as you go. You can watch detailed steps in the Lotus Star Earrrings tutorial.
3. Fill in the interior with crystal rondelles sewn through the delica beads.
These Lotus Star earrings are so beautiful and would make a great gift for someone special. The lotus star design is unique and eye-catching, and the earrings are made with high-quality materials from PotomacBeads.
