Tutorial
You can pick up this pdf file tutorial with illustrated instructions. OR watch our tutorial video to see how simple it is to create.
A Quick Note: The holes of the Groovy Bead Frames might not have a clear opening. I suggest using a bead reamer (A002370) or something sharp and pointy to poke the holes first to ensure a clear opening before stitching.

This is a beautiful pair of earrings. But the video tutorial is much to difficult to follow. It needs to be done slower and with more specific directions. This video caused a lot of negative frustration. Break the directions down into to smaller parts please!
You can check out the PDF, downloaded directions to help with a step-by-step illustration on how to make the pair of earrings.
