Clover Halo Earrings Tutorial

Create the Base Circle String two SuperDuo beads and two 11/0 seed beads, tie them into a circle, and position the thread to begin the design. Attach the Monty Crystal Add an 11/0 seed bead, the SS20 Monty crystal, and another 11/0 seed bead, then use a figure-eight thread path to secure the crystal between the SuperDuos. Step Up to the Outer Holes Move through the SuperDuo into the outer hole to prepare for adding the Halo beads. Add the Halo Beads Stitch Halo beads around the outside, separating each one with 11/0 seed beads while keeping the Halo bead centers open. Complete the Clover Shape Continue the pattern until all Halo beads are attached, then step up through the first Halo bead to begin the next round. Add the Decorative Seed Bead Border Weave around the Halo beads, adding 11/0 seed beads between each section to create the delicate clover outline. Attach the Wire Guard Add two 11/0 seed beads, a wire guard, and two more 11/0 seed beads, then stitch back into the beadwork. Reinforce the Top Connection Pass through the wire guard and surrounding beads a second time to strengthen the attachment. Finish the Thread Weave back to the starting point, tie the thread ends together securely, and trim or burn the excess thread. Add the Ear Wire Open the ear wire sideways, attach it through the wire guard, close it securely, and repeat the process for the second earring.
