Quick Project Steps

Introducing Cheryl's Lotus Star earrings. Whether you choose to make them with a sparkling metallic star look or a charming colorful flower look, these earrings will be sure to please.
1. Begin with about three feet of thread with a size 12 needle. Add a stop bead. Pick up a miniduo and an EVA bead, making sure it points upward. Add four seed beads, a rondelle and four more seed beads. Bring the thread back down through the second hole of the EVA. Add another miniduo and three delica beads, go back up the miniduo and add another EVA bead. Repeat the pattern four times to make a lotus star design.
2. The next step is to add 11/0s and rounduo minis around the outside, adding a wireguard as you go. You can watch detailed steps in the Lotus Star Earrrings tutorial.
3. Fill in the interior with crystal rondelles sewn through the delica beads.

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.
