Attach Quad Bows:
Insert the quad bows using the inner to outer holes and secure with 11/0 beads.
Repeat around the earring base, adjusting tension.
Reinforce the Structure:
Add more beads to fill gaps and stabilize the design.
Use 8/0 beads between quad bows for a balanced finish.
Finishing Touches:
Attach ear wires with a wire guard for added durability.
Ensure both earrings are mirrored for a balanced set.
Final Adjustments:
Weave through beads to secure the thread, tie knots, and trim excess.
