Aegean Breeze Beaded Earrings Tutorial
Hey there! In today’s video I will show you how to create the Aegean Breeze Beaded Earrings. This is a new design, which is inspired by last month’s order from beadingschool.com. Multi-hole Czech glass bead shapes, Amos Par Puca and GemDuos (or DiamonDuos), are paired with 2mm round beads and 15/0 seed beads. Decorative connectors of your choice pair well with the beadwork, and can totally change the look of the design. Please see below for the full list of materials:

About the Aegean Breeze Design:
A great feature of the Aegean Breeze Earrings is that the beaded components are created separately. This means that they are totally customizable, and the pieces can be easily combined to make a bracelet or a necklace. Just think, one could even be used as a single stand-alone pendant!
Feel free to try swapping out the 2mm round beads on the outer edges for anything of a similar size. Pearls, druks, and fire polish all work well.Â
