    Quick Project Steps

    These elegant little beauties are easy to personalize by choosing your favorite colors to compliment any style. Watch the PotomacBeads tutorial to find out how to make your own pair of stellar Starry Earrings.
    Gather up IrisDuos, RounTrios, Potomac crystal rondelles and Miyuki seed beads. Using a Beadonit board while working on your project will keep everything more organized. It's always good practice to check all the holes in the beads before you begin.
    Using a size 10 needle on about three feet of thread, pick up eight IrisDuos, all facing the same direction. Tie a knot to form a circle. Watch the Starry Earrings tutorial with Marissa to follow along step-by-step.
    Thread through the outside edge of the project to reinforce it a little and find a spot to tie a half hitch knot. Trim the end and burn down flush to the beads.
    Making these Starry Earrings is easy and fun. They hang really nicely on the ear. They would be perfect for a last minute gift or as a fun addition to your own jewelry collection. They're such a versatile piece of jewelry. You can wear them with a casual outfit or dress them up for a night out. Find all your beading needs at PotomacBeads.

    Reviews indicate supplies may not be complete. I was hoping to ship this to another address but didn’t see that option available. So I’ll need to pay two shipping fees.

    Found it extremely difficult to bring up “oval clasp”. Searched the whole site and would key in “oval clasp” and wouldn’t come up. Was ready to cancel order out of frustration.
