How to Make DIY Beaded Tassel Duster Earrings (Viewers Request) by Denise Mathew

jewelry design another project for DIY earrings. This is a viewer request and all those seed beads definitely took me out of my strictly wire comfort zone but I feel that the results turned out well 😊 This tutorial teaches you how to create earrings that have a lot of movement and they really are the stars of the show. With inexpensive beads and stringing material as well as time and patience you can have your own unique accessories that are tailored to your personality. This project will take some time so keep this in mind if you decide to create your own pair of earrings. You need very little wire wrapping skills and minimal tools. So let's get started!

For the earrings in the tutorial I used around 84, 2 mm silver plated beads, 108 black seed beads and 324 turquoise seed beads, 3 feet number 2 Silk thread, 2 ,20 mm x 5 mm cones, about 2 inches 24 gauge wire, and 2 ear wires for earrings that measure 5 inches from top of the hook to bottom most Bead. If you don't like the look of the knots you can cover them with crimp covers, here's a link if you're interested beadaholique.com/silver-plated-crimp-bead-cover…
You can keep to 1 color bead instead of varying the colors or make them shorter, just use the 6-4-6-4-6-4 reduction pattern to get the cascading effect, so if you start with 30 beads for the longest string then use, 24 for the next then 20, etc.
