Chevron Splendor

Cut a comfortable working length of FireLine and add a needle. Secure the end of your thread to a 5.5mm antique brass-plated 21 gauge open jump ring. Follow these steps to create your earring:

• Add a Miyuki 11/0 round seed bead in white opal silver-lined to the thread, followed by a TierraCast brass oxide pewter faceted chevron bead, and another white seed bead
• Bring your thread through one stringing hole of a DiamonDuo 5x8mm pastel blue zircon Czech glass 2-hole bead
• Add another white seed bead to the thread and then wrap your thread a few times around the end of a TierraCast brass oxide pewter criss-cross link, near the loop on one side
• Go back through the white seed bead and the same hole of the DiamonDuo
• Then, go down through the other stringing hole
• Add a white seed bead to the thread then wrap your thread a few times around the other side of the same criss-cross link from before, this time near the loop on the other side
• Your thread should be on the other side of the loop on the criss-cross link. Add a white seed bead and the first hole of a DiamonDuo. Go down through the other hole of the DiamonDuo.

• Add a white seed bead and wrap your thread a few times around the next section of the criss-cross link. Go back up through the white seed bead and DiamonDuo.
• Add a white seed bead and the first hole of a DiamonDuo. Add a white seed bead, a chevron bead, and a white seed bead. Go back through the chevron bead, the next white seed bead, and down through the next hole of the DiamonDuo.
• Add a white seed bead, a DiamonDuo, and white seed bead. Wrap your thread a few times around the next section of the criss-cross link. Go back through the white seed bead and the DiamonDuo. Bring your thread over and down through the next hole of the DiamonDuo.
• Add a white seed bead to the thread. Wrap your thread a few times around the next section of the criss-cross link, near the loop on this end.

Open the loop at the end of an antique brass-plated 20 gauge eye pin and attach a TierraCast brass oxide pewter small dagger charm. Close the loop. Add three white seed beads to the eye pin, followed by a TierraCast brass oxide pewter 3mm faceted heishi spacer, three Miyuki 11/0 round seed beads in silver-lined blue zircon, three white seed beads, three blue seed beads, a spacer, three white seed beads, and three blue seed beads. Make a simple loop at the top of the beads. Repeat this step six times for a total of seven dangles.

Simple Loop Tutorial

Cut a length of 24 gauge Vintage Bronze Artbeads Designer Wire approximately 12 inches long. Wrap one end around the loop at one end of the TierraCast brass oxide pewter faceted V link. Wrap one coil around the body of the V and then use the wire to attach one of your seed bead dangles. Continue wrapping the wire and attaching dangles to embellish the V. Secure the other end of the wire to the loop at the other end of the V and trim.

Attach the V link to the two loops at the bottom of your criss-cross link using a TierraCast medium oval brass oxide pewter open jump ring for each.
