Earrings with White Crystals Tutorial

When you choose materials for these earrings, you can choose other materials. For example, you can change Delica seed beads to Toho seed beads, but it is necessary to check if there will not be "waves" while beading.

Embedding Swarovski crystals with seed beads. The right side.
Make a ring of 40 pieces of Delica #11 (D11).

Work two rows in a standard peyote stitch with D11.

Add one row of Toho seed beads #15 (Т15_2).

Insert a Swarovski drop and weave one more row of Toho #15 (Т15_1).

The result of Steps 1- 4.

Embedding Swarovski crystals with seed beads, the wrong side.
Work one row with T15_1 (look at a picture).

Using the same T15_1 seed beads, weave the next row as follows:
2 seed beads (please, look at the picture where to begin), then 7 seed beads x 4 times (next picture), 3 seed beads, and again 7 seed beads x 4 times.

Using the same T15_1 seed beads, weave the next row as follows:
2 seed beads, then 7 seed beads x 4 times, 3 seed beads, and again 7 seed beads x 4 times.

Final row.
Insert one T15 seed beads each between groups of 7 seed beads.
In the uppers side do not add one bead, just link two neighbouring groups.

The result of the previous steps.

Adding a row of Half Tila beads (please, look at the photos attentively).
Bring the needle out of D11 (the second row of Delicas from the top), introduce the needle into a Half Tila bead (HT), pick seed beads as follows: 1xТ15_1, 1xD15, 1xТ15_1.
Introduce the neadle into the second HT hole.

Bring the needle out of D11 of the lowest row of D11 (there will be three D11 under HT).

To repeat the previous steps of adding HT beads, first pass in the opposite directionthrough the neighboring two rows of D11 and one bronze Т15_2.

Again change the direction of weaving and introduce the needle into D11, which is situated under bronze Т15_2 (look at the picture).

Now repeat 7 times steps 9 - 12. You get a row of 8 HT beads.

The result of steps 9 - 13.

Add Half Tila on the opposite side and finish decorating of the right side of an earing.
Pass through the seed beads on the wrong side and bring the needle out of D11 nearby a top of the drop.
