    Quick Project Steps

    Form the Base: Start by threading four cube beads onto the thread and tying them into a square. This forms the base of your earrings. Add SuperDuos: Integrate SuperDuo beads between the cube beads, securing them at each corner to create the initial shape. Expand the Design: Continue adding layers of SuperDuos and cubes, stepping up through the beads to expand the earring's structure. Incorporate Seed Beads: Add 15/0 seed beads between the SuperDuos for detailed decoration and to secure the structure. Set the Rivoli: Place the 14mm Rivoli in the center and secure it by tightening the surrounding beads. Finish with Earwires: Attach wire guards and earwires to complete the earrings.
