    Quick Project Steps

    Create these Starbright SuperDuo Earrings even if you are a beginner beader. Use the NEW gold DragonThread and a couple of seed beads and crystals to make this star beaded earring design. 1. Cut a piece of DragonThread into a 4 foot piece and place on a needle to the thread followed by 5 SuperDuo beads. Tie them into a circle to create a 5 pointed star shape. 2. Step up your thread to the second hole of the superduo bead and add a crystal round bead between each of your superduo bead. Continue to watch the Starbright SuperDuo Earrings to see how to add the seed beads and extra crystal fringe. 3. Once you finish your earrings, add your ear wires onto your wire guard and put on your new earrings! The Starbright SuperDuo earrings are quick and oh-so simple. You can keep these very plain and just finish the star design, or add additional beads or fringe to the bottom. Make sure to watch the video tutorial to see how your stars can look different based on a different selection of seed bead sizes. Project Length: 2"
