Let it Snow Earrings

Project details:

I started this design with the intent of making flowers and then I thought "a few tweaks and these would be snowflakes!"

I made two pairs. For the second, I used blue where the white SuperDuos were and vice-versa.

There are endless possibilities for color combinations with this easy and fun design!

In the step-by-step instructions the two colors of SuperDuos used are referred to as "SuperDuo 1" and "SuperDuo 2."

↓ Buy the supplies

Supplies you’ll need:

3 yards of Wildfire 0.006" thread
24 SuperDuo color 1 beads
24 SuperDuo color 2 beads
20 size 11/0 seed beads
14 size 8/0 seed beads
2 Jumprings
2 Earwires

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Cut about 3 yards of thread. String onto your thread an 11/0, SuperDuo 1, 11/0, SuperDuo 1, 11/0, SuperDuo 1, 11/0, SuperDuo 1, 11/0, SuperDuo, 11/0, SuperDuo 1

Leave a 3" tail

Step 2

Pass your needle through the first 11/0 added in Step 1. Then pass through all the beads added in Step 1 to from a circle. Pass through the circle a second time to secure.

Step 3

Exit your needle through the bottom hole of a SuperDuo 1.

Step 4

Reverse the flow of your stitch by entering through the top hole of the SuperDuo 1 you exited.

Step 5

Pick up two SuperDuo 2's and string through the top hole of the next SuperDuo 1. Repeat until you are all the way around the design. Follow the same path again with just thread to secure this row of newly added beads. Exit through the bottom hole of a SuperDuo 2.

Step 6

Reverse the flow of your stitch by entering through the top hole of the SuperDuo 2 you exited.

Step 7

Pick up one 8/0 and pass through the top hole of the next SuperDuo 2.

Step 8

Pick up one SuperDuo 1 and pass through the top hole of the next SuperDuo 2.

Repeat steps 7 & 8 until you are all the way around your design.

Step 9

Exit through the last 8/0 added.

Step 10

Pick up two 11/0's an 8/0 and another two 11/0's. Go through the opposite side of the 8/0 you exited to create a loop. Pass through this loop a second time to secure. Pass through the entire outside row of the design to secure your design and hide your working thread.
