Pass through the second hole of the following 1A.

Step 5: Repeat Step 4 eleven more times until all the spaces between the second holes are filled.

Continue through the first hole of the next 1A.

Step 11: Reverse direction and pass through the second holes of the next 2A.

Step 12: String 3B and pass through the second holes of the next 2A.

Step 13: Repeat Step 12 eleven more times until you have completely embellished the earring.

Step 14: Weave both the working and tail threads into the beadwork and tie several half-hitch knots. Remove the excess.

Using a jump ring, attach an earring hook to one of the groups of 3B along the edge of the beadwork.

Repeat all the steps to complete the second earring. 

Your earrings are now complete!
