Summer Flower Earrings Tutorial

Create the Rivoli Bezel Begin by stitching a circular bezel with 11/0 and 15/0 seed beads, then insert and secure the Rivoli crystal. Add the Mini RounDuos Attach Mini RounDuo beads evenly around the bezel, making sure each bead is oriented correctly. Attach the IrisDuos Connect an IrisDuo to each Mini RounDuo, forming the flower petals around the crystal. Reinforce the Flower Weave through the existing thread path to tighten and stabilize the beadwork before adding embellishments. Add the Front Seed Bead Accents Stitch 11/0 seed beads between the IrisDuos to define the petals and enhance the floral shape. Create the Rear Support Row Add 11/0 seed beads behind the IrisDuos, weaving from Mini RounDuo to Mini RounDuo to keep the petals facing forward. Complete the Flower Structure Continue the support row around the entire earring and reinforce the beadwork as needed. Add the Ear Wire Connection Stitch a crystal bicone, two 15/0 seed beads, another bicone, the ear wire, and a final bicone to create the top connection. Reinforce the Attachment Sew through the bicones, seed beads, and ear wire multiple times to strengthen the connection. Finish the Earring Weave through the beadwork, tie secure knots, trim or burn the thread ends, and repeat the process for the second earring.
