    Quick Project Steps

    Knot the thread to the eyepin. Put the disco ball onto the thread, it will act as an anchor. Thread on 20 rondelles and pull them down to the disco ball. Pick up a seed bead and thread back up through the beads to complete the first strand. Don't pull the thread super tight to keep some movement in your earring. Loop through the eyepin and bring the thread back through the disco ball and pick up another 20 rondelles for the second strand. Repeat for each strand until you have the amount you would like for your tassel. Loop through the eyepin and tie the thread into a knot with the tail end from the beginning. You can use a dab of glue to hold everything in place. Trim off the rest of the thread. Add on the bead cap.Use pliers to make a loop in the wire. Trim off the excess wire. These earrings are so much fun to make and they're really versatile. You can wear them with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual look, or dress them up with a cute dress. Either way, you're sure to turn heads! You can use more rondelles or larger ones to make a statement piece such as a pendant. Try using different colors for a new look. No matter how you choose to wear them, crystal tassel earrings are a beautiful and eye-catching way to accessorize. So get creative, and have fun!

    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.
