    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Collect all necessary beads, needle, thread, and tools. Create Base Loop: String four 6mm Mermaid Glass Beads with three 11/0 Seed Beads between each. Form a loop and tie a knot to secure. Reinforce Loop: Sew through the first set of beads again to reinforce the loop. Add Teardrop Pendant: String three 11/0 Seed Beads, attach the Sea Luster Drop Bead, and secure with another set of seed beads. Shape Earring with SuperDuo Beads: Add SuperDuo Beads around the 6mm beads, incorporating 15/0 Seed Beads for spacing. Ensure tight, even placement to form the structure. Finish Top Section: Attach a wire guard at the top, securing with additional seed beads. Reinforce by sewing through multiple times. Attach Ear Wire: Open ear wire with pliers, attach to wire guard, and close securely. Final Touches: Burn any remaining thread ends to prevent fraying.
