How to make these bugle bead earrings:

Step 1: Start to make the white bugle bead pattern

1st, cut off a piece of very long 0.2mm fishing wire, and slide a wire protector onto the middle part of the fishing wire;
2nd, cross both ends of the wire through a piece of 3mm light golden plated acrylic bead. Slide a 6mm white glass bugle bead, a light golden acrylic bead and another white glass bugle bead from each end of the wire;
3rd, cross both ends of the wire through another piece of 3mm light golden plated acrylic bead to form a diamond-shaped beaded pattern;
4th, use the same method to make another diamond-shaped beaded pattern like before.

Step 2: Finish the white bugle bead pattern

1st, tie the two ends and then cut off one of them, slide a 2mm glass seed bead, a 6mm red faceted bicone glass bead and another 2mm glass seed bead onto the wire;
2nd, cross the wire back the red faceted bicone bead and the next four beads. Slide a white bugle bead, a 3mm acrylic bead, another white bugle bead onto the wire;
3rd, cross the wire through one 3mm acrylic bead like the picture shows to form a small diamond pattern on the bottom;
4th, in this way, form another diamond pattern on the top;
5th, slide a 2mm glass seed bead, a 6mm red faceted bicone glass bead and another 2mm glass seed bead onto the wire. Then cross the wire back the red bicone bead and the next two beads to make the second small pendant.

Step 3: Finish the diamond-shaped dangle earring

1st, cross the wire through some beads, and then imitate the former process to make the third pendant;
2nd, continue to make the other two pendants;
3rd, make some knots with the wire, then cut off extra wires;
