    Begin by threading on five disco balls each separated by a delica bead, tie into a loop and tie a knot.
    Thread through a disco ball and add seven delica beads and thread through the next delica bead in the circle. Continue sewing in four more groups of delicas. Thread through four of the delicas from the first group and add three delicas, a disco ball and three more delicas. Bring the needle back down through the next group of delicas, continue around the outer edge to form a star shape for your sparkly earrings.
    Add seed beads around each of the outer disco balls and then fill in the spaces with more seed beads to complete the edge. Put in a wire guard and earwire.

    I love everything about Potomac beads, except for the dragon fire white thread. I bought the time before it was a 250 spool and I bought 5 pound because the 6 pound I had was just humongous you've done some changing with your threads since the last time I bought some. I fell and broke my right arm and my rotator cuff and wasn't able to be for quite a while. I just pulled out the 5 pound white thread. I bought the time before and tried it. I don't even think I could bezel with it. The 6 pound does beautiful. I took one arm span of thread off the spool and I won't be using it. It's a shame because I truly love yours thread.
