Instructions:

1️⃣ 🪡 Thread 90cm of Fireline onto a needle. Knot the end to the top of the charm, leaving a 5cm tail.

2️⃣ Pick up two beads and slide them onto the frame (edge of the charm). Position the top of the second bead on the frame’s edge.

3️⃣ Pass the needle (and thread) under the frame (back to front), then up through the second bead. Pull snug so the beads sit neatly side by side.

📍 Tuck the tail thread through the first bead.

4️⃣ Pick up one more bead, pass the needle under the frame, then up through the bead you just added. 🔄 Repeat this step until a total of 18 beads are attached.

5️⃣ Turn your work over (working in a clockwise direction). Pick up one seed bead, then pass the needle through the top of the next bead.The seed bead will sit on its side. Now take the needle up through the following bead.

🔁 Repeat this step, working around the ring twice.

6️⃣ Pass the needle up through the last fire-polish bead and turn your work over. Pick up one seed bead, then pass the needle through the seed bead sitting between two fire-polish beads.

• 📌 *Pick up one more seed bead, then pass the needle through the next seed bead.**
• 🔄 Repeat from * to** until you reach the second-to-last fire-polish bead.

Pass the needle down through the second-to-last fire-polish bead and up through the last fire-polish bead.Pick up one seed bead, then, working backward, pass the needle through the seed bead between the last and second-to-last fire-polish bead. Add one more seed bead, then pass the needle through all the seed beads except the last two. Guide your needle down through the second-to-last fire-polish bead and up through the last fire-polish bead.

Reinforce by passing through all the seed beads again, except the last two.

7️⃣ Secure the Thread & Finish by passing the needle down through the second-to-last fire-polish bead and up through the last fire-polish bead.Then work through half the seed beads, then secure by passing around two fire-polish beads in the center.

✂️ Trim the excess thread.

8️⃣ Attach the Charm to the Earring Loop by using chain-nose or flat-nose pliers, open the bottom of the earring loop and attach it to the top of the charm.
