    Quick Project Steps

    Making jewelry is a fun and creative way to express your personal style. And what could be more personal than a pair of earrings? These Four Corners Earrings from PotomacBeads are quick and easy to make, and they look great! Start out with 4 DiscDuo beads seperated by 4 Bicones. Let them drop to the bottom of the thread and tie into a not to create a diamond design. Create a step up by going back through the first DiscDuo bead and add a bugle bead surrounded by a seed bead on each side, bringing the thread back down through the next DiscDuo. Continue around the diamond. Add more bugles and silver seed beads to the corners. Circle around the DiscDuos. Add another seed bead to each corner to create a pointed design. You could attach an earwire at this point and have an open holed Four Corners earrings design. Thread 3 groups of three seed beads to the interior of the earring. Sew back up to the top of the piece and add the earwire. Make sure it is centered to the design. These fun little Four Corners earrings are very easy to make and could effortlessly be adapted to make a pendant or matching bracelet. Why not make a set for a friend?

    Site is difficult to view multiple items - each time my settings / filters need to be reset. I tried many workarounds, none worked. Also you are always out of what I want to order, this time Cymbal findings.
