If you're looking for a fun way to practice the cubic right angle weave, look no further than these delicate Fossil Shell earrings from PotomacBeads. They carry an air of antiquity and class, and they're sure to add a touch of elegance to any outfit. To begin, put on one seed bead and a Czech cube along with another seed bead and cube. Slide it down to the end of the thread leaving a tail and thread through the first sead bead to form the bottom of the cube. Continue using seed beads and Czech cubes to form the ring that will hold the seashell bead. Watch the Fossil Shell Earrings tutorial with Tereza to see how she uses the cubic right angle weave. Hide the tail of the thread before adding the seashell bead to keep it out of your way. Thread the seashell bead into the ring. Add another row of seed beads to secure the shell in place. Add some embellishment to the outside edge and a loop and an earwire. These Fossil Shell Earrings from PotomacBeads are sure to turn heads! These earrings are truly a work of art and are sure to impress anyone who sees them. They also make a great gift for the special someone in your life!
