Shooting Star Earrings - Beginners Beaded Earrings

The perfect tutorial for someone's who's a beginner or someone who is more advanced looking for a quick make to fill space on your craft stall or crafting website. It's a 'light to wear', elegant pair of earrings that are easy, quick and fun to make.
I'll take you round by round through the full make, including adding the chain and shepherd's hook / earwire. Star motifs are always popular - both simple designs and those that are more complicated. Look out for my bracelet design which uses the same simple motif to give a more complicated look to your designs.
Materials required:
1g x 11/0 Seed beads - Accent Colour - (Miyuki Emerald AB)
1g x 11/0 Seed beads - Main Colour (Miyuki Dura. galvanised Gold)
1g x 8/0 Seed Beads - Main Colour (Miyuki Dura, galvanised Gold)
Length of gold plated chain
2 x Shepherd Hooks
Beading thread - 4lb or 6lb FireLine or WildFire
Beading Needle - Sized 10 or 12
As always, I'd love to see your own version if you give this one a go - so please either tag me in a post or post a picture to my facebook page.

These are my next project. Thank you for such a pretty and simple pair of earrings.

[@JoBarclayLoggie]

Have fun Sharon! It's great to have the quick, was makes in amongst all the more complicated designs we do! x

[@lizrichardson3309]

How pretty! I have a lot of 11/0 and 8/0 beads in small quantities, this will be a lovely project! Thank you Jo, I hope all is well with you.

[@JoBarclayLoggie]

Yes - that's a fab idea Liz. I think we all have tubes that have what I'd call "left overs" from other projects and not quite enough to do a bracelet etc. A great way to use them up! All good this end Liz - thank you! x
