Quick Project Steps

Two rivolis are set back to back to create a fun and unique double sided gem in these glittering, eye-catching Rivoli Drum Earrings.
Start by building the center disc by picking up twelve of your A color. Leave a long tail of about 5 or 6 inches. Thread back through all of the beads to create a loop. Continue around the loop by threading through a couple more beads to tighten. Work in a peyote stitch around the outside of the loop by picking up two beads and bringing the needle back through the second bead of the loop. Continue around the loop of twelve. Start using your B color by picking up one bead at a time and thread through each of the pairs on the outside of the loop.
Watch Anna in the Rivoli Drum earrings tutorial and she will guide you step-by-step through the process of making a setting for your rivolis.
Add the earwire. Easily switch the earwire around to have the other side showing. Two earrings in one!
Rivoli Drum earrings are easy to make and best of all you get two in one! They can be worn out for special occasions or just for a fun day out shopping, either way you're sure to love them!
