Disc Earrings — Beaded Earring PDF Tutorial | Glass Flowers & Disc Beads

A stunning glass disc focal, a large earring hook, and a handful of pearls and crystals — that's all it takes.

The technique is forgiving and highly customisable — use whatever disc and bead colours you love, and no two pairs will ever be the same. The tutorial also shows pendant and alternative variations using different focal types.
