    Quick Project Steps

    Prepare Materials: Gather all necessary materials: seed beads, needle, thread, charms, and findings. Begin Ladder Stitch: Thread your needle with green dragon thread. Add four 8/0 seed beads to start the base. Sew back through the first two beads, pull tight, and then sew through the last two beads. Build the Tree: Continue ladder stitch by adding two beads at a time. Sew through the previous row to stack the beads. Repeat until you reach the desired height for your tree. Add Top Bead: At the top, add a single bead to create the point of the tree. Attach the wire guard by threading through it and securing it at the top bead. Decorate the Tree: Use 11/0 seed beads in green and brick colors to add branches and decorations. Sew through each row to attach decorative beads, creating a festive look. Finish the Design: Reinforce the top bead and wire guard. Attach the jump ring and metal charm star. Secure the ear wire to complete the earring.
