Quick Project Steps

Create the Dragonfly Garden Earrings using a combination of products like seed beads, pearls, and Potomac Crystals. Use brick stitch in combination with fringe to achieve the perfect earring look. 1. Cut a 5 foot piece of DragonThread and put a size 11 beading needle onto the end. Tie the thread around the crystal cosmic ring and begin brick stitch using seed beads and pearls. 2. Watch the Dragonfly Garden Earrings to see how to finish the top of the crystal ring and then tie on more thread to the base of the crystal to make the lower half and add the fringe. 3. After finishing your ring, place your ear wires onto the wire guard and then proceed to produce a second earring to wear as a pair. The Dragonfly Garden Earrings will have your taking flight as you create this whimsical, light design. Add as much or as little fringe for a longer or shorter style. Use any combination of beads or rings to change up the look and make it your own. Project Length: 2 1/2"
