Create a colorful pair of Fun and Floral Earrings in this beginner friendly jewelry making tutorial for Michaels Stores.

Designer Deb Floros combines lightweight acrylic flower beads with John Bead seed beads to create playful earrings filled with color and movement. The beaded fringe looks intricate, but Deb takes you through the construction one step at a time.

In this video you’ll learn how to layer two acrylic flower beads, create a secure beaded loop, make individual seed bead fringe drops, reinforce your beadwork and attach an ear wire to finish the earrings.

Deb uses John Bead 11/0 Czech Glass Seed Beads in our Candy Mix, allowing the colors to mix randomly for a bright, carefree look. Deb also has a recommendation for a gold version.
