Focal Earrings Tutorial

Use your beadweaving skills to create these pretty little Focal Earrings. These earrings are simple to make and look great, so let's get started! Put on four mirrored round beads, each separated by an 8/0 and tie into a knot. You don't need too big of a tail, just enough to tie off at the end. Sew through the next round and seed bead by the knot. Add on two 8/0, a round and two more 8/0s and sew down into the next seed bead. Repeat three more times around the loop. Step up through the first two 8/0 seed beads and round. Watch the Focal earrings tutorial to see how Allie adds the next row around the outside and the focal bead at the bottom. Sew back up through the project and add a wire guard to the top. Tie the thread ends and burn down with a Thread Zap. Add an earwire. PotomacBeads Focal Earrings are the perfect way to show off your favorite beads. They are easy to make, and are sure to impress your friends. Better yet, why not make them their own pair to show off!
