- Cut a 4 inch piece of Power Pro beading thread.
- To the piece of thread, add 16 crystal metallic seed beads.
- Thread this beaded strand through a donut and a jump ring.
- Tie the two ends of the thread together using a surgeon's knot so that there is now a ring of beads encompassing a donut and a jump ring.
- Add a drop of the GS Hypo cement to the knot and allow it to dry.
- Once the glue is dry, trim off the excess thread.
- To make the tassels cut a piece of Power Pro thread 6 inches long.
- Fold thread in half and add 16 seed beads to the center of the doubled up strand.
- Thread this through the donut bead and gather both sides together.
- Add a crimp bead to all of the threads that you have gathered and crimp it.
- Now you should have two hanging threads and one hanging loop approximately 1 1/4" long.
- Cut the bottom of the loop so that you have four hanging threads.
- To three of the hanging threads add an inch (approximately 21) of seed beads, followed by a copper bicone, and finally a crimp bead.
- Cut off the fourth thread and trim the excess thread from the three beaded strands.
- Add the earring hook to the jump ring.
- Repeat steps to make the other earring.
