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.

NOTE: You will also need a single seed bead different from the ones you are using in this project to act as a stop bead. This bead will hold your thread in place and will be removed at the end of making the wreath.

Remember to double all the directions below to make your matched pair of earrings.
Please watch the video: How to Bead Weave a Flower Shaped Wreath.
Cut a 3 foot length of Wildfire beading thread. Thread a size 10 needle onto one end of the thread. Following what you learned in the video, make a flower shaped wreath using 6 Czech fire polished glass 3mm beads in round matte metallic, 6 Czech fire polished glass 4mm round beads in purple iris, and Miyuki Delica 10/0 seed beads in matte metallic green/pink.
When you have finished the wreath, please tie off your thread and remove your stop bead as shown in the video: How to Tie Off and Add New Thread in Bead Weaving.
Open a jump ring and connect it through one of the "petals" on your flower shaped wreath and the loop on one end of your antique brass ornate flower connector link. Close the jump ring.
Take your Vintaj arched ear wire and open the clasp in the back - slide the top loop of your ornate brass connector link onto the ear wire. Also slide on one Miyuki Delica 10/0 seed bead in matte metallic pink/green.
Enjoy your lovely new earrings!
