Deco Drop or Stud Earrings — Beading PDF Tutorial | DropDuo Beads

A Czech two-hole cabochon framed in DropDuo petals — four ways to wear it.

The Deco Drop or Stud Earrings are built around a 6mm two-hole Czech cabochon, with DropDuo beads arranged around it in a compact floral frame. Once the base is done, you choose your finish: plain stud, stud with a drop pearl below, dangle on an earring wire, or dangle with drop. All four variations are covered in the one tutorial. Quick to make and very versatile — the kind of earring you end up making in every colourway you own.
