    Quick Project Steps

    The crystal rivoli in the center of these Framed Fire earrings sparkles and shines, giving a warm glow that draws the eye. These fashionable earrings are suitable for beaders of all skill levels.
    To get started put a stop bead on the thread to hold the beads in place. You will begin with creating the frame with four Czech bugles separated by seed beads. Pull the thread into a loop. Add six seed beads to each corner.
    Add 5 seed beads in between each corner to form an interior frame for the Czech crystal to sit inside of. Thread on three 15/0s to the center 3 seed beads of each side of the frame. This finishes the front of the frame.
    Watch the Framed Fire earrings tutorial as Allie guides you step-by-step through the project. Tighten up the back of the earring by bringing the thread back through the beads to hold the crystal in place.

    had a little difficulty getting correct amounts in the cart: site multiplied single item rather than adding additional items. Perhaps because I was trying to order from an email re: items I was waiting for?
