DIY kit twisted earrings - digital e-book

Do you want to make these beautiful twisted earrings? If you already have the supplies or prefer to choose your own colors, we offer just the e-book here. After purchase, you will receive a comprehensive 57-page PDF via email, featuring step-by-step instructions and tips for variations.

This e-book provides detailed explanations for two variations. One version involves stringing with two colors (creating a top and a bottom section), while the other uses two or three colors (one for the edge, one for the bottom, and one for the top—though the top and bottom can be the same color).

To make these earrings, you will need 2 or 3 different colors of Miyuki 11/0 Delica beads, jump rings, and ear wires; you can select these to suit your personal taste. You will also need a needle, thread, and scissors. While not strictly necessary, a bead mat and a bead scoop or tray make the process much more enjoyable. Two pairs of flat-nose pliers are also handy for opening the jump rings.

This pattern utilizes herringbone and peyote stitches. Everything is explained in great detail, though the techniques involved can be challenging if you have absolutely no prior experience with bead-weaving methods like peyote stitch. You might want to practice simpler versions of herringbone and peyote stitches first before starting on these earrings.
