1. Begin with approximately four feet of Miyuki nylon beading thread. String one Miyuki 8/0 seed bead, one Miyuki Cut 8/0 Delica Bead (DBLC), and one 8/0. String 27 Miyuki 11/0 seed beads.
2. Pass through all the beads again to form a loop, exiting the second 8/0 bead.
3. Move the needle to the shorter tail of thread. Continue around the loop another one and a half times to secure. Trim excess thread.
4. Return the needle to the first thread and string one 11/0. Moving counter clockwise, skip over one 11/0 and pass through the next. This begins Peyote Stitch.
5. String one 11/0 and, moving counter clockwise, skip over one 11/0 and pass through the next.
6. Continue in this way around the loop, adding 11/0 beads, and forming the 3rd row of Peyote Stitch.
7. After adding the final 11/0 bead (14 in total) pass through the 8/0, DBLC, and 8/0 from the original loop, then exit the first 11/0 in the third row.
8. String one 8/0 and, moving counter clockwise, pass through the next slightly raised 11/0.
9. Continue in this way around the loop.
10. After adding the final 8/0 bead (13 in total) pass through the 11/0, 8/0, DBLC, 8/0 and 11/0 from the original loop, then exit the first 8/0 in the fourth row.
11. Add another Peyote Stitched row of 8/0 seed beads.
12. After adding the final 8/0 bead (12 in total) continue through all the beads at the top of the earring. Exit the first 8/0 in the fifth row.
13. Add a peyote stitched row of DBLC beads.
14. After adding the final DBLC (11 in total) continue through all the beads at the top of the earring. Exit the first DBLC in the sixth row.
15. Add another Peyote Stitched row of DBLC beads.
16. After adding the final DBLC (10 in total) continue through all the beads at the top of the earring. Exit the first DBLC in the seventh row.
17. Add a peyote stitched row of Miyuki Size 5/0 seed beads (E).
18. After adding the final E bead (9 in total) continue through all the beads at the top of the earring. Exit the first E bead in the eighth row.
19. Add another Peyote Stitched row of E beads.
20. After adding the final E bead (8 in total) continue through the next eight beads. Exit the DBLC at the top of the earring.
21. String eight 11/0 beads.
22. Cross through the DBLC to form a loop. Continue around the loop two more times to reinforce.
23. Sew the thread down into the earring following the thread path. Once secured trim off any excess thread.
24. Attach the earwire onto the 11/0 loop.
