Reinforce by sewing through all the beads again. 2. Watch the Sparrow’s Nest Woven Herringbone Crystal Bezel tutorial to follow along with Anna as she guides you through the beaded earring pattern.

Pinch the prongs down to hold the crystal securely. Create a small loop out of 11/0 seed beads to slide the leverback earwire into. The Sparrow’s Nest Woven Herringbone Crystal Bezel design can be made with alternating seed bead colors for a whole new look. Use the crystal component as a ring or as a brooch.
