Spring is just around the corner with these charming Bloom Earrings. This PotomacBeads tutorial will show you how to easily make a pair for yourself using the peyote stitch and a handful of beads.
1. Gather up the Halos, Es-O beads, Gekkos, Miyuki seed beads, wire guards and earwires.
2. Put on eight halo beads containing Es-O beads onto the thread with a size 10 or 12 needle. Tie them into a knot. Step up from the bottom hole to the top hole of the first halo set. Add a gecko bead and sew through the next halo in line. Repeat eight times around the circle.
3. Add a wire guard and four seed beads to the top of your Bloom earring. Reinforce by sewing through the seed beads and wire guard once more. Bring the thread back down to the beginning and tie off. Put on the earwire and you're done!
These Bloom earrings are a great way to add a pop of color to any outfit. And they're so easy to make, you'll be able to make a whole bunch in different colors. So have fun with it and make a bunch for yourself and your friends.
