    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: IrisDuo beads. 4mm pearls. 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread and beading needle. Wire guards and earring hooks. Create the Base: String five IrisDuo beads in a circular pattern, ensuring the rounded sides face up. Tie a knot to secure the circle, forming the flower base. Add Pearls: Insert one 4mm pearl between each IrisDuo bead by threading through the same holes of adjacent IrisDuos. Embellish with Seed Beads: Add six 15/0 seed beads around each IrisDuo, skipping over the pearls. Reinforce the thread path by looping around to ensure stability. Attach the Center Pearl: Place a 4mm pearl in the center of the flower by threading through adjacent seed beads and securing it in place. Add Wire Guard and Hook: Secure a wire guard at the top of the earring and attach the earring hook. Finish and Repeat: Reinforce the thread and trim any excess.
