Here we show you how to make your own floral garlands which can be used as beautiful earring pendants. You can compose these floral garlands with all kinds of flowers and seed beads. For our examples we used flower beads made of coral and acrylic.
Homemade flower vine earrings made from seed beads can be a delicate and detailed form of jewelry making. These earrings are created using tiny beads called seed beads that are carefully stitched or wound together in beautiful patterns that mimic flower tendrils of various kinds. This technique requires a bit of patience and precision, but by using the fine acrylic flowers, you avoid the more complicated beadwork associated with flower petals.
The handmade aspect makes these earrings unique, as each pair can be created with individual patterns and color combinations. Seed bead flower vines can have an elegant and feminine look and subtly add a touch of nature inspiration to your look. This form of jewelry craftsmanship represents not only the beauty of nature, but also the dedication and care that goes into the creation of each piece.

Seed Bead Garland with Red Blossoms
We used the following DIY components to make these earrings:
- 10 acrylic flowers, 9x5mm, red
- seed beads size #11, 24-carat gold-plated
- 2 crimp beads, gold-plated sterling silver
- 2 closed jumprings, gold-plated sterling silver
- 1 pair of earwires with loop, gold-plated sterling silver
- approx. 2 x 40cm FireLine, 6LB, black
First you thread a bead. Sew back through the same bead (forming a loop). This is the stopper bead which will eventually be removed.
Tighten the thread .... and place the stopper bead approx. 10cm away from the thread end.
Thread 30 beads.
String a flower and 1 bead.
Sew back through the flower and 6 beads.
Thread 4 beads, 1 flower and 1 bead.
Sew back through the flower, the 4 beads and 6 beads more.
Thread 5 beads, 1 flower and 1 bead.
Sew back through the flower, 5 beads and 6 beads more.
Thread 4 beads, 1 flower and 1 bead.
Sew back through the flower, 4 beads and 5 beads more.
Thread 3 beads, 1 flower and 1 bead.
Sew back through the flower, 3 beads and 7 bead more.
Remove the stopper bead.
Thread the needle on both thread ends ... and string 1 crimp bead and 1 closed jumpring.
Sew back through the crimp bead and 5 beads. Tighten the thread.
Take a pair of chain-nose pliers and press the crimp bead flat. Then you cut the excess thread.
Open the loop of the earwire carefully, insert the closed jumpring and close the loop again.
Your floral garland earring is done.

This floral garland is a bit longer. You start with 40 beads instead of 30. Then you sew on small "twigs" (3 beads). For that, you skip the last bead and sew back through 2 beads.
Finally, you connect the garland to the loop at the back of the brushed coin.
