1. First of all, cut two 4 inch pieces of perlon thread. Insert both threads together through the loop of the earring hook and match all of the lengths (you have 4 ends now). Insert all ends through a crimping bead and pull the bead to the top as seen in the picture.
|
|
|
2. Pinch or crimp the bead with your pliers to secure it from sliding down.
|
|
|
3. Add a first bead by inserting all of the ends through and pull the bead to the crimping bead.
|
|
|
4. On one of the ends, add a bead and crimping bead. Decide where the bead should stay and pinch the crimping bead closed.
|
|
|
5. Add now another bead on the same end. Pull it to the crimping bead, add another crimping bead and pinch close.
|
|
|
6. Continue in this manner again by adding a bead of your choice and follow the bead with a crimping bead to hold in place.
Continue until 3-5 beads are used up. Finish off with a crimping bead.
|
|
|
7. Start adding a bead and crimping bead to the second thread. Try to use a different order of beads so the earrings look interesting.
|
|
|
8. Keep adding beads like you did to the first thread until the same approximate length is reached.
|
|
|
9. Now you will be starting the third thread.
|
|
|
10. The last 2 threads will be done like the first with no particular order of beads. Once all of the threads are finished, snip off the excess thread hanging off the bottom.
