          La Fortuna Earrings Tutorial

          Created by: Summer Melaas

          Shimmering, sparkling seed beads and Swarovski crystals cascade from a 12kt GF hoop, in these earrings that are inspired by the Costa Rica colors from Swarovski's Crystals Around the World journey.

          Designer Tips
          • Tie 1 yard of One-G beading thread onto the hoop, leaving a 2-3" tail.
          • Using ladder stitch, stitch on 5 size 8 seed beads:
            • Place 2 beads on the thread. Pull down to the hoop. Wrap thread around hoop and go back into the inside size 8 seed from hoop side, then out.
            • *Add 1 size 8 seed, wrap thread around the hoop and back into the 8 seed that was just added from hoop side, then out.
            • Repeat from * 2 more times.
          • Once you begin the fringe, make sure to pull your thread taught but not too tight. This will help the fringe to hang softly and not too stiff looking.
