Swarovski or PureCrystal pearl ball dangling earrings

How to make a beaded ball?

Here's a tutorial for our bead-weaving and beading experts. Beaded balls are a very pretty technique that can be easily adapted by simply changing the beads. On the other hand, they can be a real headache for those not used to complex patterns. This tutorial is a nod to the origins of Perles & Co. Indeed, the Perles & Co website was created in 2004, offering crystal beads and primers to create your own jewelry. Remember those crystal spinning top rings?

Here's a beading tutorial worthy of the 2000s, but modernized with trendy beads and colors. The tiny round 2 mmPureCrystalbeads or round 2 mm Swarovski beads will enable you to create small beaded balls of the perfect size to make light pendant earrings or a small pendant.

You can also try recreating this ball with seed beads or gemstone beads. Let your imagination run wild.

Here, the balls are threaded onto dangling earrings before being fully closed. These ear chains can be threaded doubled, or you can add a stopper bead at the end of the stem.

Caution: use fireline thread as indicated, not soft weaving thread such as Miyuki thread, as the pearls may cut the thread.
