Beaded Bow Earrings Tutorial

These beaded bow earrings are perfect for the holidays, but they also work for anytime of the year - just use different colors.

I strongly encourage you to read through all of the information below BEFORE watching the tutorial (link below).

MATERIALS

1️⃣ BEADS

The examples shown in this tutorial are made with Miyuki 11/0 seed beads. Specifically, I used my holiday bead mixes, including Vintage Christmas and Modern Christmas. For the holidays, I think the Pink Christmas and Grinch mixes are also perfect for this project.

Please note that the colors of the beads are much more vibrant than in some parts of the tutorial video, which was filmed on a rainy day. So if you want to see the true colors, please view the product listings.

For the center of the bow, I used 4mm glass pearl beads. You can use other beads, such as metal beads or fire-polished beads. However, I do think 4mm is the best size.

2️⃣ THREAD

I highly recommend using a 6LB monofilament thread like FireLine in the Crystal color for this project.

3️⃣ BEADING NEEDLE

Size 10 or 12

4️⃣ SCISSORS

5️⃣ PLIERS

6️⃣ EAR WIRES

7️⃣ WIRE GUARDS

They are also known as thread guards.

P.S. You can make a matching bracelet using this tutorial.
