Learn to create the Fun and Fancy Earrings, playful and elegant beaded earrings featuring right-angle weave boxes, seed beads, 2mm bicones, and pearls. Using 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads, a Briolette drop, and DragonThread, stitch geometric foundations, embellish with sparkling crystals, and create a structured but airy earring. Finish with a wire guard and earwires for durability. Customize your earrings by playing with different pearl colors, bicone types, or thread tones for unique and vibrant designs perfect for any occasion.
Prepare Your Thread:
Cut about 3 feet of DragonThread and thread a single needle.
Create the First Box:
String 12 x 11/0 seed beads. Form a loop and stitch through to create the first right-angle weave box.
Add Additional Boxes:
Add 9 more 11/0 beads for each new box. Share 3 beads from the previous box to connect them. Build a total of 4 linked boxes.
Insert Pearls:
Add: 15/0 seed bead – 3mm pearl – 15/0 seed bead into each box. Secure by stitching through the box beads and reinforcing tension.
Fill the Gaps:
Stitch additional 11/0 seed beads into empty spaces between boxes for stability and clean shaping.
Add Outer Embellishments:
Attach 2mm bicones around the outer 11/0s using: 15/0 seed bead – bicone – 15/0 seed bead combinations. Go all the way around the outer edges.
Create Bottom Drop:
Attach: 15/0 – pearl – pearl – 15/0 – 11/0 – Briolette – 11/0 – 15/0 – pearl. Form a dangle under the lowest box, and secure by stitching through again for strength.
Reinforce Structure:
Pass through all beads and embellishments again to tighten and stabilize the earring.
Add Wire Guard:
Sew up to the top. Attach a wire guard through the topmost 11/0 beads for hanging.
Finish:
Reinforce the wire guard. Tie off the thread using bridge thread knots. Burn off excess and attach earwires.
