Learn to create the Soft SuperDuo Bracelet and Earrings, an elegant and adaptable jewelry design that combines SuperDuo beads, 11/0 seed beads, and crystal bicones for a soft, dimensional look. Use DragonThread, a beading needle, and 3mm and 4mm crystals to stitch interlocking components perfect for earrings, bracelets, or even necklaces. Master techniques like herringbone stitch and reverse threading to build layered shapes, and finish with a wire guard and your choice of clasp or earwires. Customize the project with different bead sizes or colors to suit your personal style.
Create the First SuperDuo Ring:
String 6 SuperDuos, adding 11/0 seed beads between each. Tie into a loop, leaving a short tail for later.
Step Up and Build the Second Row:
Move your needle to the second hole of a SuperDuo. Add: SuperDuo – 11/0 – SuperDuo between existing beads in herringbone pattern. Repeat this all the way around.
Add Crystals to the Outer Edge:
Step up again into the second hole. Add: 11/0 – 4mm crystal – 11/0 in open spaces; add a single 11/0 where SuperDuos meet. Continue around the circle.
Start the Second Component:
From a top crystal, begin a new loop: Add SuperDuo – 11/0 – SuperDuo, looping through to form a new unit.
Repeat to Build Additional Loops:
Mirror the original ring steps: Add another row of SuperDuos and fill outer gaps with crystals and 11/0s.
Finish the Top Component:
Add 4 more SuperDuos, with 11/0s between each. Complete the loop and secure by stitching into surrounding beads.
Add Wire Guard (For Earrings or Clasp):
Exit from a top crystal. Add an 11/0, pass through the wire guard, add another 11/0, and return through the crystal. Reinforce by repeating the loop.
Secure and Finish Thread:
Tie off using a bridge thread between beads. Trim and burn excess thread for a neat finish.
Attach Findings:
For earrings: Add earwires through the wire guard. For bracelets: Attach clasp or continue with additional links.
