    Quick Project Steps

    Starting the Earrings: Begin by threading six round Duo beads and six crystals on a string, forming a triangle. Use 11/0 seed beads between the round Duos. Adding Details: Step up to the second hole of the round Duo beads, adding another round Duo and 11/0 seed beads. Add a crystal between groups of beads for a nautical flag appearance. Finalizing the Design: Link to the crystal using the outer hole of the round Duo beads, creating a buoy shape. Add more seed beads and crystals to the outer edges. Attaching the Ear Wire: Secure the ear wire close to the earring, reinforcing the thread through the beads. Use a thread burner to finish off the project neatly.
