    Quick Project Steps

    Thread the needle with DragonThread, add a stop bead, and start with CRAW stitch using Miyuki Seed Beads. Create a foundation with CRAW by adding and connecting beads in a right angle weave pattern. After building the desired length of CRAW, add fringe to the bottom using crystal bicones. Use 20 gauge wire to create the earring form, adapting the shape to your preference. Craft custom ear wires from the same wire, ensuring a cohesive design. Finish by attaching the beaded design to the wire form, completing your Fiesta Earrings.
