Learn how to quickly make a pair of sparkling earrings in this PotomacBeads tutorial. With just a few materials, anybody can make these Simple Tubelet Crystal Earrings using basic bead weaving techniques.

1. Using a size 10 needle on size 6 DragonThread, pick up 4 IrisDuo beads each followed by a 15/0 seed bead. Make sure the IrisDuo beads are all facing the same direction. Let the beads drop down to the end of the DragonThread and tie the thread into a knot. Bring the needle into the next IrisDuo. Reverse the direction of the thread by stepping up and bringing the needle through the top hole of the same IrisDuo bead.
