Create stunning DIY "Mother of the Bride" earrings in this jewelry-making tutorial by PotomacBeads! In this step-by-step guide, you’ll learn how to use 4mm pearls, 8/0 and 11/0 seed beads, 3mm bugle beads, and crystal beads to craft elegant earrings. This tutorial covers basic and advanced beading techniques like right-angle weave and embellishments, perfect for both wedding accessories and everyday wear. All materials can be found on our website, and the tutorial is easy to follow even for beginner beaders!
Prepare your materials: Thread your needle with about 2 ft of size 8 white Dragon thread and prepare your 4mm pearls, 8/0 seed beads, 11/0 seed beads, and 3mm crystal beads.
Create the base circle: String four 4mm pearls alternating with 8/0 seed beads. Drop them to the bottom of the thread and tie a double knot.
Add crystal embellishments: Add a combination of 11/0 seed beads and 3mm crystals around the pearls to create a petal-like structure, reinforcing the design by pulling the thread tight.
Tighten and reinforce: Sew through the 11/0 seed beads and 3mm crystals to pull the structure into shape, ensuring the tension is even.
Start the right-angle weave: Incorporate 11/0 seed beads and bugle beads, following the right-angle weave pattern to form the earring's upper section.
Attach the pearl drop: Add one 4mm pearl at the bottom of the design, linking it with the 11/0 seed beads for a seamless finish.
Add ear wires: Attach the ear wires using wire guards for added strength, ensuring the earring is securely finished.
Final touches: Reinforce the beading once more, tie off your thread at the back, and trim any excess.

I have an account with Potomac on my other email & I could not get the free clasp with the long oval so I used my other email address where I don’t have an account with Potomac. I also I tried to change the free clasp to the gold clasp & couldn’t do it. I had a hard time trying to get the deal for today. I would like the gold clasp that was offered with the purchase of long ovals that I want to make & also a pair of earrings. I am a fairly new customer & have only purchased from Potomac 1 other time. I have a bead store that I’ve done business with but it’s easier to purchase on-line with free shipping over $75..
Always a good experience. Great selection at competitive pricing.
