    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare the Chinese Knotting Cord: Cut a 10-inch piece and apply Super New Glue to the ends to stiffen.
    Add Matubo Beads: String an Aztec gold 6/0 seed bead, followed by turquoise Matubo beads on each side.
    Incorporate BowTrio Beads: Face the beads inward and thread the cord through the holes, starting from the top and moving to the center.
    Add a Large Hole Pearl: Thread the cord through a 9mm pearl, crossing in the middle to create a "harp" effect.
    Finish the Earrings: Loop the cord through the bottom hole of the BowTrio beads and add an 8/0 seed bead to each end. Tie a knot and trim.
    Attach Ear Wires: Use a jump ring to connect the ear wire to the top of the earring.
