Do you fancy making large, beautiful, original and unique earrings? Join Magda today and she will show you how to create these show stopping earrings.
SuperDuo beads are unique because they give you unlimited possibilities to create jewellery. Very easy to combine with other types of beads to always create fantastic effects. Learn how to create these delicate floral shapes using SuperDuo beads.
Come on, don't resist! Needles in hand!
- SuperDuo ™ (I marked them with SD) - 80 pieces. Would also work with Preciosa Twin Hole Seed Beads
- TOHO 11/0 beads - I used two colors (I marked them T1 and T2)
- TOHO 8/0 - 2 pcs. (I marked them with T3)
- Threads for beading - I used Miyuki threads (when choosing a thread colour, remember that it will be visible)
- Jump Rings 6mm
- Earwires
- Scissors
- Jewellery pliers
Our tutorials are for inspiration and learning purposes. They include links to the relevant categories for you to choose your own colour combinations and we positively encourage you to experiment with different shapes, sizes, finishes, composition and texture. Why not choose your own beads and colours to achieve something in your own style? Let your imagination run wild and make your dream piece of jewellery.
Please note that the colours for the products illustrated in the image above may not match the 'Products List'.
Step 1
What we will need...
Step 2
Cut approximately 120cm length of thread and thread it on a needle. Then we alternately thread ten SuperDuo SD beads and 10 TOHO T1 beads
Step 3
The beads are shifted to the end of the thread about 10cm from the end and we tie to form a circle of beads.
Step 4
We go through the needle through one T1 bead and one SD on the left from the tied knot. We move the thread slightly hiding the tied knot in the T1 bead.
Step 5
We return with a needle through the second hole of the same SD bead.
Step 6
We thread 4 SD beads.
Step 7
Again, we pass the needle through the same hole of the SD bead.
Step 8
We go through another SD bead.
Step 9
We return with a needle through the second hole of the same SD bead.
Step 10
We go through another SD bead from the main circle.
Step 11
We thread 3 SD beads.
Step 12
We go through the SD bead from the previous "flower".
Step 13
Now we pass the needle through two successive SD beads of the second "flower".
Step 14
We have a second flower ready. By repeating the previous step, we create another seven.
Step 15
We return with a needle through the second hole of the same SD bead.
Step 16
We go through the next two SD beads of the last flower being created.
Step 17
We thread two SD beads.
Step 18
Again, we go through all three SD beads of the flower being created.
Step 19
The next stage is to supplement the funds in the resulting flowers.
We thread one TOHO T2 bead.
Step 20
We stick into the hole of the SD bead on the opposite side of the same flower.
Step 21
We move the bead so that it sits nicely in the middle of the flower.
Step 22
We return the needle through the second hole of the same SD bead.
Step 23
The first measure is ready. We complete the next nine in the same way by repeating the steps from step 11.
This way the flowers are ready
Step 24
We go with the needle to the top of the work to create a rim of the earring. To do this, we pass the needle through the second hole of the same SD bead.
Step 25
Then we go through two consecutive SD beads in the same flower.
Step 26
We turn the thread by passing the needle through the second hole of the same SD bead.
Step 27
We thread three beads: T1, T3, T1 and go through the next SD bead on the top of the earring.
Step 28
We take one T1 bead and go through SD.
Step 29
Now we thread 3 T1 beads and again we go through the top, digging into the SD bead.
Step 30
By alternating with one and three T1 beads, we form the edge of the earring.
Step 31
We tie a knot between the beads SD and T1 and pass the thread with the edge of the earring a few beads away.
Step 32
We cut the thread.
Step 33
We also thread the other end of the thread through a few nearest beads to hide the thread and cut it.
Step 34
Twist open a jump ring using jewelry pliers.
Step 35
We put the jump ring through the T3 bead and twist it using your pliers to close it.
Open another jump ring.
Step 36
We place the jump ring through the hole in the ear wire and twist close to secure. The earring is ready.
Please note - the materials list may differ from the original design and the earwires in the list require a bonny crystal gluing into them.
Step 37
