These cute little pearly bows are trending. I used glass pearl rounds, but you could use Czech glass 3-4mm druks or smooth round gemstones.
Cut 8" of wire. Slide the bail to the center of the wire. Slide on a seed bead then pearl. I used 8 seed beads and 8 pearls. The image below does not show the seed beads in between the pearls. This is an older design that I re-made. These images just show how to bend the wire to create the bow, so please follow the wire bending and wrapping:)
Take the wire on the right side and bring it up and down through the bail. Slide the same seed bead and pearl order onto the left side.
Take the wire on the left and bring it up and down through the bail.
You will need to be gentle and work the wire through to tighten it to form the bow shape by pulling the wire down. Loosen it up again if you need to in order to tighten it up more. Now you can slide 6 pearls with a seed bead in between each pearl onto each bow tail hanging down. Do one side at a time.
Finish the end by sliding on a 8/0 seed bead onto the end. Bend the wire over the side of the bead tightly, you can gently use pliers to help. Wrap the wire around tightly. Push down on the seed bead while tightening your wire. Trim any excess wire. A glue-on finial bead could also be used to finish the end instead wire wrapping the 8/0 seed bead.
Use a jump ring to attach the bow to the ear wires.
