Embellished Seed Bead Earrings - Jewellery Making Tutorial

Thread approx. 1 meter of thread onto your needle. Pick up 6 TOHO Round 11 beads in the colour A.

Pass back through all 6 beads.

Pick up 1 x A on the needle. and pass the through 3 beads.

Again , pick up 6 xA.

Pass through the 3 beads you just came out of.

Pass through the 7the bead you added earlier in the order.

Go through the next 3 beads from 1 column and through 3 beads from the column 2 now being added.

Take the next 3 A.

Go back to the second row, going through the next 3 beads of the first row and the 3 beads of the 2nd row.

Without picking up more beads, go back and pull the thread through the middle column of the 2nd row (3 beads).

Then I pass the thread through the third column - 3 A beads of this row.

Pick up beads in the following order: BABBAB

Pass the needle into the 3 beads from which you just came out of the 2nd row.

Pass the needle through the adjacent 3 beads of row 2 and the BAB beads from the row 3 now being added.

Pick up beads in the following order: B A B

Pass the needle through the next 3 beads in row 2 (they will always be the next ones in the row previously made).

Again pass the needle through the next 3 beads in row 2 (it will always be the next, third, three in the previous row) and through the BAB column that is just being added in row 3.

Pick up a further set of BAB beads

Pass the needle through the next 3 beads in row 2 (it will always be the next, third, three in the previously made row)

Pass the needle and thread through the column adjacent to the column of the 2nd row, from which my thread now comes out, and insert the needle into the BAB beads (3rd column counting from the last column added in this row).

Pass the needle with the thread through the column adjacent to the one from which the thread comes out

Pass the needle and thread through the column adjacent to the one from which the thread comes out, so that the thread comes out at the top.

Pick up Toho Round 11 beads on the needle: turn BBAAAB and move them on the thread.

Pass through the 3 beads from which I just came out of row 3.

Pass the needle through the adjacent 3 beads of row 2 (BAB) and BBA beads from the row 4 now being added.

Pick up BBB beads on the needle and slide them onto the thread.

Pass the needle with the thread through the next 3 beads of the previous row (it will always be the next column after the column to which I add the first 6 beads in the next row).

Pass the needle with the thread again through the next 3 beads in row 3 (it will always be the next three in the previous row) and through the BBB column in row 4 that is just being added.

Pick up beads on the needle: ABB, insert the needle into the next free 3 beads from the previous row and pull the needle with the thread.

Again, I go back up the next treble crochet of the 3 beads from the previous row and the 3 newly added beads.

Now I pick up AAB beads on the needle and insert the needle into the post of the 3 beads of the previous row (the last one) and thread the needle with the thread).

To sum up: I always repeat the following steps to finish each row of treble crochets. The needle with the thread goes through the column adjacent to the column of the row, from which my thread now comes out, and I stick the needle into the 3 beads of the current row (i.e. it is always the 3rd column counting from the last column added in the new row).

The needle with the thread is passed through the column adjacent to the one from which the thread comes out.

The next treble crochets and rows are made as above, using the following beads:
Row no. 5
TR 11 beads:
ABAABA
BBB

To create the next row of treble bars, always go for 3 beads as described in point 32 above.

Row 6:

Row No.7:

After completing the 7 rows of posts, I proceed to make the pendant.

I

pick up the thread with a needle in sequence: Hematite Beads TR11: ABBBBBA;

TR8, TR6, TR8, TR11 A, TR8, TR6, bead RUBBER, TR6, TR8

TR11 AAA TR8 TR6 TR8 TR11 AAA TR8 TR 6 RUBBER TR6 TR8 TR11 AAA TR8 TR6 TR8 TR11 AAA TR8 TR6 RUBBER TR6 TR8 TR11A TR6TR8TR6 TR 11 A BBBBB And hematite

connect this sequence of beads to the last column of the 7th row.

pass the needle with the thread through the penultimate post of the same row.

Thread the bead sequence:
TR11 AAAAA
TR8 TR6 TR8 TR6 TR8
TR11 A TR8 TR6 RUBBER TR6 TR8
TR11 A TR8 TR6 TR8;
TR11 A TR8 TR6 RUBBER TR6 TR8 TR11 A;
TR8 TR6 TR8 TR11 A TR8 TR6
RUBBER TR6 TR8 TR11 A
TR8 TR6 TR8 TR6 TR8 TR11 AAAAA

I stick the needle into the second post behind the post from which I came out, making the first pendant. I pull the thread.

Third pendant: I use the thread to come out of the third post.

Thread the bead sequence:

Hematite, TR11 BBB, TR8 TR6 TR8, TR11 B, TR8 TR6 TR8, TR11 A, TR8 TR6 TR8, TR 11 A, TR8 TR 6 RUBBER

TR 6 TR8 TR 11 A TR8 TR6 TR8 TR11 A TR8 TR6 TR8 TR11 B TR8 TR6 TR8 TR 11 BBB, hematite.

I stick the needle into the second post behind the post from which I came out, making the second pendant. I pull the thread.

The last, fourth pendant.

I left the 4th post with the thread and thread the sequence of beads:

TR11 AAAAAA, TR8 TR6 TR8 TR11 A TR8 TR6 TR8 TR 11 A star-shaped hematite, TR 11 A I

move them all on the thread.

I use the needle to enter the star-shaped hematite.

Pull the thread through TR11A, TR8 TR6 TR8, TR11 A, TR8 TR6 TR8.

then I take it on the needle and shift TR 11 AAAAAA to nothing.

Pass the needle through the last free post in row 7 and pull the thread to the end.

Now I move higher - thread the thread through 6th row TR11ABB beads.

 I take a star-shaped hematite TR11 C and a TR 11 C on the needle. (Of course, it can also be color A or B, because the colors, the size of the beads and their arrangement are arbitrary) I put these 3 elements on the thread.

The needle goes through the TR11B in the middle column of the 4th row (row consists of 5 treble crochets).

The rest of the thread is sewn into the posts with a needle and, to strengthen the whole work, I pass through all the hangers again. I cut the rest of the thread.

Now it's time to attach the earwires - I need 4 links, earwires (preferably anti-allergic), and tongs (I recommend :)).

 Do you already know how to make beaded earrings? This is what ready-made earrings look like, I will put them in a hard box to give to my Friend.
