Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

For this project, you will be making the center bead woven piece first and then placing your melon beads on either side of it (using a head pin) to create the main focal of the earring.

To make this pair of earrings, please watch the video: How to Make a Czech Glass Beaded Earring Using 2-Hole DiamonDuo Beads. The video will walk you through the process, step-by-step, on how to make this design.
