    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Your Materials: Gather quad bows, 8/0 and 11/0 seed beads, gold Dragon thread, and a needle. Thread and Start: Cut a comfortable length of thread (up to 3 feet) and thread the needle. Begin with a double right-angle weave using 8/0 seed beads. Add Quad Bows: Attach the first quad bow, ensuring the correct orientation. Use 11/0 seed beads as connectors. Create the Structure: Continue adding quad bows and weaving in seed beads, moving through the inner and outer holes as demonstrated. Build the Top: Secure the design by adding 11/0 seed beads in strategic points, forming a heart-like shape. Final Details: Add the last quad bow, stitch seed beads around the edges, and attach the ear wire with a jump ring. Finishing Touches: Check for loose threads and tie knots. Add decorations as desired to enhance the earring's appearance.
