    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Collect all the beads and tools listed in the materials section. Prepare the Thread: Start with a stop bead and pick up an 11/0 seed bead and a quarter Tila bead. Initial Beading: Thread through a 15/0, an 11/0, and another 15/0, then go through the opposite hole of the quarter Tila. Zigzag Pattern: Continue this pattern, alternating between Halo Beads with SuperDuos and quarter Tila beads, until you have eight sets. Form the Circle: Connect the ends to form a circle, then reinforce by threading through the beads again. Center Rivoli: Add the Rivoli bead to the center and secure it by creating a net with 11/0 seed beads. Finish the Earrings: Attach jump rings and ear wires to complete the earrings.
