1. String one 4mm Square bead (SB) onto approximately 3 feet of thread. Leave a tail of about 5 inches at the end.
2. Turn the needle and go back through the SB, and bring the thread loop around the end of the earwire.
3. Cinch tight so that the SB sits flush up against the wire right above the earwire’s loop.
4. Add a second SB.
5. Going from bottom to top, pass the needle under the earwire.
6. Go back up passing in front of the earwire and through the SB. This will form a second loop around the earwire.
7. Tighten the loop around the earwire.
8. Pass back down the first SB added, with the thread behind the earwire.
9. Coming up from the bottom pass the needle under the earwire.
10. Repeat step 6 and 7 and pull tight.
11. Continue adding SBs until there are 11 attached to the earwire.
12. Add one 8/0 seed bead, two 2.2mm Spacer beads (SPR22) and one 15/0 seed bead.
13. Turn the needle and skipping the 15/0, go back down through the SPR22s, 8/0 and the SB.
14. Pass behind the earwire and pull to secure.
15. Turn the needle again and go back through only the SB this time.
16. Moving from right to left, step over to the next SB and go down through it passing behind the earwire.
17. Turn and go back through the SB going around the earwire.
18. Add another set of one 8/0, two SPR22s and one 15/0.
19. Turn the needle and skipping the 15/0, go back down through the SPR22s, 8/0 and the SB passing behind the earwire.
20. Pull to secure.
21. Turn and go back through the SB going around the earwire.
22. Continue adding beads in this way.
23. Knot off your thread, add a drop of glue to secure and trim off any extra thread.
24. Make a second to complete the pair and add a beaded dangle!
