These pretty bead woven earrings look like they would be difficult to make but they are actually quite simple and are a great project for a beginner bead weaver. Mini GemDuos form the center star and two sizes of seed beads accent the edges. Make them in your favorite colors!

Instructions

To make these earrings you will be doing some simple bead weaving. Consider making multiple starburst clusters and linking them together for a long earring variation.

First, cut 24 inches of thread and string it onto your needle.
Please watch the video: Easy Bead Weaving: How to Make a Seed Bead and 2-Hole Bead Star Cluster. This video will not only show you how to make the star cluster but also how to turn it into an earring.
Make two earrings. Enjoy!
