The Beautiful Morning Earrings tutorial teaches viewers how to create elegant, dimensional earrings using Mini RounDuos, RounDuos, MobyDuos, 15/0 and 11/0 seed beads, and a 6mm pearl or crystal. The design begins with a circular base of multi-hole beads, builds upward with layered seed bead embellishments, and finishes with a centered pearl and a beaded or wire guard loop for hanging. This project is beginner-friendly but offers enough complexity for intermediate beaders, especially those interested in learning how to stabilize multi-hole beads, reinforce thread paths, and layer different sizes of seed beads for a polished, sparkling finish.

    Quick Project Steps

    Build the Base Circle: Pick up the following beads in a repeating pattern: 1 × MobyDuo → 1 × Mini RounDuo → 1 × RounDuo. Repeat the pattern until you have a complete circle (typically 6–8 segments depending on size). Stitch through all beads and reinforce to form the base ring. Add Embellishment Rows: Exit from a RounDuo. Between each RounDuo, add: 1 × 15/0 → 1 × 11/0 → 1 × 15/0. This forms a layered decorative ring around the base. Insert the Center Pearl: Exit the inner part of the circle and pick up: 1 × 15/0 → 6mm pearl → 1 × 15/0. Stitch across the ring, going bead to bead to center the pearl in place. Pull thread gently to tighten and anchor the pearl. Outline the Pearl with 15/0s: Add 15/0 seed beads around the pearl to form a tight circular bezel. This gives dimension and keeps the pearl snug. Fill Gaps for Support: Identify and fill gaps between RounDuos or MobyDuos using 15/0s or 11/0s to keep tension consistent and structure firm. Create the Hanging Loop: Exit from the top Mini RounDuo or RounDuo. Add: 5–7 × 15/0 seed beads (depending on loop size). Stitch into the opposite side of the same bead to form a loop. Optional: Add Wire Guard: Instead of a seed bead loop, add: 1 × 11/0 → wire guard → 1 × 11/0. Stitch back down and reinforce 2–3 times. Attach the Ear Wire: Slide ear wire into the loop or wire guard. Reinforce and Tie Off: Weave through multiple beads, tie half-hitch knots between beads. Trim or burn the thread end neatly.

    I absolutely love shopping with Potomac Beads for jewelry making supplies and tutorials and kits, etc. It's the first place I go when I'm looking for a specific tool or bead or whatever. I love the jewelry kits, too! My family was so impressed with my first effort that I am encouraged to try different methods now, confident that you will have all the supplies and support I need. Thank you for a superior shopping experience.
