If you would like to try it, follow this tutorial.

Waterdrop Style Earrings

This design is very simple and can be easily done within a few minutes. The key point is that you should have the beads in the right shape.

The two white beads are 3mm Swarovski AB crystal beads. They are really my favorite as they are cheap and the Aurora Boreale (AB) coating creates a prism light effect in any viewing angle.

The water drop shape beads at the bottom were bought online in China, which only 10 cents each if converted to Singapore money and they are sparking and clear. I really wish I could find such cheap and nice beads in Singapore.

Baby's-Breath Style Earrings

I named this design as Baby's-breath as the fishing thread was used for all the joins and they are almost invisible, only the shining beads are flying around. It somehow creates a Baby’s-breath effect to me.

The steps are very simple. First, prepare some 6mm prism beads, 2mm round silver beads and silver seed beads.

Make three pieces of these using fishing thread and crimp beads.

Cut them into 1.5cm and 3cm, 2cm and 4cm, 2cm and 3cm. Put in the beads and end them with crimp beads.

Now assemble the three pieces and do the same for the next one.

You get your own baby’s-breath.

Flower Seashell Earrings

I wanted to try something different this time. I decided to use some seashells in flower shape, together with some artificial pearls and silver seed beads.

I was too lazy to make the design too complicated. So everything remained simple and easy. We shouldn’t use fishing thread this time. Normal sewing threads is good enough so that the earrings would be able to sway. Apply crimp beads at the two ends of each thread. Again, simple and easy, it would just take you a few minutes.

I was quite happy with this design, but unfortunately the quality of the silver seed beads is very lousy. Just a few tries, the silver color started fading and finally it become transparent and looked very dirty. T_T

I changed all the seed beads to 1.5mm Japanese round beads. Every bead is in the same size and highly reflective. 12 1.5mm beads were used in the shorter side and 18 the longer side. Now they look much better.
