Sparkly Stud Earrings — Beading PDF Tutorial | Rivoli Crystal Studs

One capture technique. Two completely different earrings.

The Sparkly Studs or Dangles tutorial teaches a clever Demi Round bead capture technique that creates a lush, jewelled frame around a rivoli crystal. Make the smaller 10mm version with bicone crystals as a classic stud, or scale up to a 12mm rivoli with pearl edging for a dangle. Both styles from the same method — the materials list covers two pairs.

What's included:

• 6-page PDF tutorial with step-by-step instructions and photos for every step
• Full requirements list for two pairs (studs and dangles)

You will need (for two pairs):

• 2 × 12mm Rivoli crystals (dangle earrings)
• 2 × 10mm Rivoli crystals (stud earrings)
• 1g size 8 Demi Round Beads
• 2g size 15 seed beads
• 1g size 11 seed beads
