    Prepare Materials: Gather all beads, thread, and tools listed above. Start the RAW Stitch: Thread your needle with Dragon Thread. Begin with the first RounTrio bead and Halo bead, threading through as demonstrated. Add 11/0 and 8/0 Miyuki Seed Beads in specified colors around the Halo bead. Weave the Pattern: Continue adding beads in the pattern shown, alternating between seed beads and RounTrio beads. Ensure the beads are tight and form the desired shape. Add Wire Guard: Attach the wire guard to the top of the earring, securing with 11/0 seed beads. Reinforce by threading back through the beads and wire guard. Create Bottom Design: Add additional seed beads to form the bottom pattern. Weave through beads to ensure a secure hold and symmetry. Finish the Earring: Attach the ear wire by opening it slightly, slipping it through the wire guard, and closing it securely. Trim and burn thread ends to prevent fraying. Repeat for Second Earring: Follow the same steps to create the matching earring.
