Pink Petal Earrings: Project Instructions

Delicate and feminine, these beaded petal earrings feature soft, pretty pink hues that add a touch of elegance to any outfit. Using glass seed beads and petal-shaped beads, this design is simple yet stylish. Follow our easy step-by-step instructions to create your own beautiful earrings.

MATERIALS REQUIRED

• 2 x 15cm tigertail
• 68 x 11/0 glass seed beads (we used pink lustre)
• 8 x 6/0 glass seed beads (we used baby pink lustre)
• 6 x petal glass beads (we used the fairy garden mix)
• 2 x small tube crimp beads
• 2 x 6mm strong jump rings
• 2 ear wires

TOOLS REQUIRED

• Wire Cutters
• Bead Stopper
• 2 x Crimping Pliers

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1: Prepare the Tigertail

Pick up the first length of tigertail and place a bead stopper on one end to prevent the beads from slipping off.

Step 2: Start Stringing the Beads

Thread on the following bead pattern:

• Five 11/0 seed beads
• One 6/0 seed bead
• Five 11/0 seed beads
• One 6/0 seed bead
• Five 11/0 seed beads
• One petal glass bead
• Two 11/0 seed beads
• One petal glass bead
• Two 11/0 seed beads
• One petal glass bead
• Five 11/0 seed beads
• One 6/0 seed bead
• Five 11/0 seed beads
• One 6/0 seed bead
• Five 11/0 seed beads

This pattern creates a balanced and symmetrical design for your earrings, but feel free to play with the placement and number of beads!

Step 3: Secure the Beads and Attach the Earwire

Remove the bead stopper and bring both ends of the tigertail together. Thread on a crimp bead, then pass both ends through a jump ring and back through the crimp bead. Pull tightly so the beads sit neatly, then squash the crimp bead down securely with crimping pliers. Trim any excess tigertail. Open the jump ring (you'll need two pairs of pliers), thread on an earwire, and close it securely.

Step 7: Repeat for the Second Earring

Follow the same steps to create the second earring.
