Quick Project Steps

Introducing Cheryl's Lotus Star earrings. Whether you choose to make them with a sparkling metallic star look or a charming colorful flower look, these earrings will be sure to please.
1. Begin with about three feet of thread with a size 12 needle. Add a stop bead. Pick up a miniduo and an EVA bead, making sure it points upward. Add four seed beads, a rondelle and four more seed beads. Bring the thread back down through the second hole of the EVA. Add another miniduo and three delica beads, go back up the miniduo and add another EVA bead. Repeat the pattern four times to make a lotus star design.
2. The next step is to add 11/0s and rounduo minis around the outside, adding a wireguard as you go. You can watch detailed steps in the Lotus Star Earrrings tutorial.
3. Fill in the interior with crystal rondelles sewn through the delica beads.

This is my first kit from you and I can let you know after I receive it how my experience was with it and how it is when delivered. I am excited to try to do a bracelet before I decide to get involved with your monthly kit deal. I am still new to jewelry making.
