Gather Materials:
Use Dragon Thread (size 6), size 11/12 beading needle, Drop Beads, 4mm Bicone Crystals, and Miyuki Seed Beads.
Start the Ladder Stitch:
Thread two seed beads and loop back through one to form a ladder stitch base of five bead pairs.
Create the Fringe:
String one seed bead, Drop Bead, Bicone Crystal, and another seed bead, then loop back through to attach it.
Repeat Fringe:
Continue adding fringes across the base, maintaining even tension for a uniform look.
Reinforce the Structure:
Retrace the thread path through the base and fringes to secure the beads and prevent loosening.
Attach the Earring Wire:
Loop the thread around the ladder stitch base and the earring wire multiple times for a sturdy connection.
Secure the Thread:
Tie small knots within the beadwork and trim excess thread while keeping the knots hidden.
Final Adjustments:
Ensure the fringes are properly aligned, and the earring hangs symmetrically.
Experiment & Customize:
Try different bead colors and variations for a unique personal touch!

My local bead store closed and I have had to shop at three different stores to get some of the products I use. On finding Potamac Beads, it's now a one stop shopping. They carry the types of beads I use! I'm very happy!
