Gather Materials:
8mm and 6mm pearls. SuperDuo beads. 15/0 seed beads. 2mm bicones. Dragon Thread. Wire guards. Earring findings.
Set Up the Thread:
Attach a 6mm pearl to your thread as the centerpiece. Add three SuperDuo beads with a 15/0 seed bead between each, then thread back through the pearl to secure.
Create the First Fan:
Add another three SuperDuos with seed beads in between to form the opposite side of the fan. Secure by threading back through the pearl in a circular motion.

Attach a wire guard to the top of the 8mm pearl for durability. Reinforce the connection by threading through the guard multiple times.
Add Earring Findings:
Open the earring hook slightly and attach it to the wire guard. Ensure the earring is balanced and secure.
