    Quick Project Steps

    PotomacBeads is excited to offer a tutorial for these lovely lilac earrings! These earrings are perfect for any beading skill level, and they are sure to add a little pop to your outfit!
    1. Begin with picking up an EVA bead through the point side coming out the open side, add two 8/0 seed beads. Pick another EVA bead in the same direction and add two more seed beads. Continue the pattern two more times. Take the thread and needle back through the first bead and pull into a loop.
    2. Pick up a 15/0, a tubelet and another 15/0. Bring the thread back down through the seed beads so the tubelet sits above the 8/0s. Repeat around the loop. You can watch Allie in the Lovely Lilac Earrings tutorial to see how.
    3. Add more EVAs to the four corners. Thread on the briolette to hang down and add a pop off color. Thread back up to the top of the project and add a wireguard and crystal link disc.
    These lovely lilac earrings are so versatile! You can wear them with any outfit to add a touch of color, or dress them up for a night out. They're also perfect for gifting, whether it's for a birthday, Mother's Day, or just because. The design is simple, yet elegant, and can be easily modified to make it your own. Try using different crystals or adding a tassel. No matter how you wear them, these earrings are sure to make a statement.

    I was happy to see the sale on these beads because I have very few of these. I would like to see more sales though, because I struggle with the normal prices on this site tbh.  It is a little pricey for me.
