Take a thread of 80 cm. Pass it through the needle eye. Leave one end of the thread longer than the other. You will work with the longer end of the thread. Do not tie knots!
First row
Slide in three blue beads onto the thread. Pull the working thread through the beads. Leave a 6-8 cm tail of the working thread, form a circle with the beads and tie two knots, as shown on.
Pass the needle through the nearest bead. The knot will be hidden inside the bead. The short end of the thread can be cut. Now you have a circle of three beads. That is the first row.
Second row
Passing the needle up through each blue bead, string 5 or 7 11mm beads and bring the needle through the next blue bead of the first row. You are making a new circle of beads.
You must take an odd number of beads. We use five beads in our piece, and so that you don't get confused, string rows in such color order: two brown beads, a third blue bead in the middle, and two brown ones again. You must create three circles in the second row. The needle is in the blue bead of the first circle.
NB: The number of 11 mm-sized beads in the circles of the second row will depend on the size of the bigger beads. If your bead is bigger than 4mm, as described in our instruction, then you should take more than 11mm beads, and their quantity should be odd.
Third row
Following the direction of your beading, pass the needle up through two brown beads into the blue middle bead of the second row, as shown. Thus, the thread is coming from the first row into the second one.
String one big blue 4 mm bead and bring the needle up through the middle (third) blue bead of the second row String one big bead at a time every time you bring the needle up through the middle blue bead of the second row. Pull the thread
Fourth row
We will continue adding more rows using interchangeable beading techniques for the second and third rows. The fourth row will be beaded the same as the second row. Create three new circles around big beads by stringing 5 or 7 beads of the same colour.
Completing the last circle, bring your needle up through two brown beads into the middle blue one as we did to end the second row. String this row in the direction of your beading. Then add big beads as you did to bead the third row. Add five more additional rows using the same technique.
Note: Do not forget to pull the thread at the end of the beading of each row. Completing the circles around big beads, do not forget to bring your needle up through three additional beads (through two brown beads into the middle blue one).
Final row
To bead the final row, use the same technique as we did to bead the second row (three circles). Bring the needle up through two brown beads into the middle blue one. Then pass your needle through each blue bead (middle beads). Pull the thread snugly and tie a knot between the beads. Pass your nee
dle through the next bead to hide the knot.
Attaching the hooks
To complete the earrings, we should attach the hooks. If desired, we can add one big 6 mm bead onto each side of the earring. Take a headpin or brass open-eye pin. Thread one 6mm bead onto the pin and pass it between three beads up to the other end of the earring Thread another 6 mm bead from the other end of the earring.
Bend the end of the pin with your round nose pliers to make a half loop. Attach the earring hook into the half loop and close the loop.
