Use PRECIOSA Orion and PRECIOSA Rocailles to make this sewn earring

You can use this tutorial to create effective creole earrings.

Today, we would like to present the PRECIOSA Orion Pressed Bead, one of many types of PRECIOSA Traditional Czech Beads™. This small shape with a central hole and four regularly placed points is also suitable for inventive sewing.

{tab PROCEDURE}

The procedure:

Step 1:
Cut off about 1.10 m of line and string it onto the needle. Tie an R as a stop bead at the opposite end.

Step 2:
String 1x O1 and 3x R. Slide them about 15 cm from the R stop bead.

Step 3:
String 1x O2 and 1x R. Return to the O2. String 3x R and 1x O1. Thread the line through the R immediately after the O1. String 2x R.

Step 4:
Repeat Step 3 20x.

Step 5:
String 1x O2 and 1x R. Return to O2. A total of 22 O2 will now have been strung.

Step 6:
String 3x R and 1x O1.

Step 7:
String all the O1 onto the creole wire. Be careful not to deform the shape. Start adding them to the wire from the beginning of the stringing. You can then adjust the length of the stringing by either stringing another O1, R and O2 or by shortening the stringing.

Step 8:
Crimp the creole tube in the middle with the wire using the snipping pliers.

Step 9:
Sew in the knots in the outer protrusions of the stringing: the first securing knot between the R and the second immediately after the O2.

Step 10:
Hang the creole wire on an earing hook using a ring.
