    Quick Project Steps

    Gather Materials: Crystal Olive beads (10 per earring). RounDuo beads (4 per earring). Briolette bead (1 per earring). 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads. Dragon Thread (size 8). Earring hooks and wire guards. Start the Base with RAW Units: Thread four Crystal Olive beads, each separated by an 11/0 seed bead. Connect the beads into a loop to form the first right-angle weave (RAW) unit. Build Additional RAW Units: Add more Crystal Olive beads and seed beads to create the second and third RAW units. Connect each new unit securely to the previous one. Complete the Framework: Add a final RAW unit with 11/0 seed beads to close the earring structure. Reinforce all connections by threading through multiple times. Add the Briolette Drop: Thread two 11/0 seed beads, the briolette bead, and two more 11/0 seed beads. Attach this strand to the base of the RAW structure. Embellish with Seed Beads: Use 15/0 seed beads to decorate the edges of the earring. Thread four 15/0 seed beads at a time to form a border around the RAW units. Incorporate RounDuo Beads: Add RounDuo beads at the top of the earring design for additional detail. Secure them by threading through their holes and attaching to adjacent beads. Attach the Earring Hook: Add a wire guard at the top of the earring. Use the wire guard to attach the earring hook securely. Finalize the Earrings: Tighten all threads and trim excess. Check for symmetry and adjust beads as needed.
