In this video tutorial from Potomac Bead Company, Allie teaches you how to make her simple "BohBow" earring design using Potomac Bead Company's new "BowTrio" metal bead.
Prepare the Chinese Knotting Cord: Cut a 10-inch piece and apply Super New Glue to the ends to stiffen.
Add Matubo Beads: String an Aztec gold 6/0 seed bead, followed by turquoise Matubo beads on each side.
Incorporate BowTrio Beads: Face the beads inward and thread the cord through the holes, starting from the top and moving to the center.
Add a Large Hole Pearl: Thread the cord through a 9mm pearl, crossing in the middle to create a "harp" effect.
Finish the Earrings: Loop the cord through the bottom hole of the BowTrio beads and add an 8/0 seed bead to each end. Tie a knot and trim.
Attach Ear Wires: Use a jump ring to connect the ear wire to the top of the earring.
Create the Necklace: Follow a similar process, adding charms and tassels for a complete look.
