Hey beautiful! In today’s video, I will show you how to bead the Cherry Blossom Festival Earrings with contents of the box I curated in partnership with BeadingSchool (Cherry Blossom Festival Bead Box). Please see below for the full list of materials, if you’d like to pick them up separately:
Materials List (one pair):
✔ 2 – 14mm Crystal Cabochons (paradise shine)
✔ 36 – 4mm Bicone Beads (rose opal)
✔ 54 – Miyuki Quarter Tila Beads (lt. rose luster)
✔ 56 – 2mm FP Round Beads (Luster-Opaque Rose/Gold)
✔ 3g – 11/0 Round Seed Beads (rose silver lined alabaster)
✔ 2g – 15/0 Round Seed Beads (galvanized magenta)
✔ 2 – 15x17mm Pear Pearl Beads (lt. cream rose)
✔ 6lb. Fireline Beading ThreadÂ
✔ 2 – Earring FindingsÂ
Tip 1: I highly recommend using the crystal, or white, beading thread with this design, if you are planning to use the same colors, as shown. The light beading thread will keep the bicones looking light and bright!
Tip 2: How about turning this design into a pendant for a necklace? This beaded component can be turned into more than just the earrings, as shown!

Learn how to make this floral bracelet by creating individual blossoms, made with 8mm crystal rivolis, half tila, mini dagger, Delica, and seed beads. String the individual blossoms together, as shown, or use them to create earrings, a necklace, and more.
Learn how to create a perfectly fitting beaded bezel for these special, handmade L2Studio Trapezoid Pendants! We will use peyote stitch in the round to weave 11/0 Miyuki Delica Beads and 15/0 Round Seed Beads together, surrounding the piece. Then we will create a bail, and lightly embellish the top of the piece.
I’ll show you how to create a beaded bezel around an 8mm Preciosa Nacre Pearl Cabochon with a variety of high quality Miyuki seed beads. Then, we will surround the bezel with layers of lush Mini Dagger beads, and additional seed beads, to produce the look of petals. Finally, we will create a very simple, slim ring band using the flat herringbone beading stitch.

I also shared info and images about the creation of the beaded bail, which may be used to attach to the silk cord that was included in the box.
Learn how to make an original multi-component statement necklace.
First learn how to create component #1, which includes a bezel made of Vexolo beads, 4mm pearls, and seed beads, surrounding an 8mm nacre pearl cabochon. Next, we will make component #2, which includes a cushion cut crystal stone, and a seed bead bezel.
A combination of these components will be put together, then we will create a beaded chain with seed beads and Mini GemDuo beads.
