    Quick Project Steps

    If you love bling, then you're going to adore this new tutorial from Allie! She shows us how to use Herringbone and Peyote stitch to make these gorgeous ancient earrings with seed beads and Potomac Crystals. These earrings are the perfect accessory for any outfit, and they're sure to get you noticed!
    Gather up your beads. Dragon thread is great to use, it's stiff enough for the triangle but still lets the fringe have some flow.
    Get started with the inside triangle. Put 3 of the 11/0 seed beads onto the thread and tie a knot at the bottom leaving enough thread to be able to tie it off at the end. Follow the step-by-step ancient earring tutorial.
    Tie your thread ends at the back of the earring, use a burner on the ends. Have fun creating your own versions of these earrings!
    Ancient earrings are the perfect way to add a touch of style to any outfit. Whether you're looking for a gift for a friend or just want to add a little something special to your own jewelry collection, PotomacBeads has everything you need to get started.
    With PotomacBeads, it's easy to create unique and stylish earrings that are perfect for any occasion. We offer a wide selection of beads and findings in a variety of colors and styles, so you can create earrings that are truly one-of-a-kind.
