Step-By-Step Instructions

If you love sparkly earrings, you're going to love this tutorial from PotomacBeads! Allie shows us how to use a netting technique to bezel beautiful rivolis and chatons into these adorable Mini Star Earrings.
Thread on seven 11/0s with a RounDuo in between each. Tie them into a circle. Next you will be doing a step up by adding in three 11/0s in between each rounduo around the circle. Next add the seed beads on in groups of five to fill the gaps between the previous groups of three. This will create a basket for the crystal to sit in.
Watch the Mini Star Earrings tutorial to learn the tips and tricks needed to bead in the crystal. Use the same process to make the second drop. Wear it as a single piece or a hanging earring with both pieces.
Attach both components. Add the earwire and you're good to go!
