Step 1:

step1pl

First we will make the ball of the earring, for which we will use the technique of making flowers with tupis and seed beads (like in our flower bracelet), each ball is made up of 6 flowers.
As you can see in the photo, you will first have to make four flowers that will go around the earring (in this case in the color "Crystal Metallic Blue 2x"), to do this you will thread a seed bead to the center of the thread, then you will thread two tupis through each end of the thread and cross them with a new seed bead, you will repeat this step twice and finish by inserting two tupis through each end of the thread; as you can see in the image.

Step 2:

Now we will cross the two ends of the thread through the seed beads that we put in first.

Step 3:

In this step we will pass each end of the thread through one of the tupis of the first flower and we will thread a new tupi, a new seed bead and a new tupi through each end (the tupis that will be above and below in our case are "Aquamarine" color).

Step 4:

Now we will pass the threads through two of the tupis of the opposite flower and cross them through its rockery.

Step 5:

Then each thread through the other two free tupis of the flower.

Step 6:

Now, at one end, we will thread a new tupi, we will pass the thread through the previously threaded rockery (between the two "Aquamarine" tupis) and we will insert another new tupi.

Step 7:

We will do the same on the other side and we will pass the threads through the tupis of the previous flower. We will bring the two ends of the thread to the same point and we will make a double knot.

Step 8:

Next we will hide the threads and cut them (we can take advantage to sew the ball a little more and give it more consistency). And now we have the ball ready for our earrings.

Step 9:

Now we will take one of the 5mm rings and open it using our pliers.

Step 10:

We will put it through one of the rockeries of the last two flowers that we have formed (the "Aquamarine" colored ones) and we will close it.

Step 11:

step11pl

Now we will insert into the ring cane a tupi, a seed bead, a tupi, another seed bead and a new tupi (in this order).

Step 12:

step12plstep12'pl

We will cut the cane about 7mm from the last router bit and make the ring (using our round-nose pliers).

Step 13:

step13pl

Now we will insert the stick into the ring that we had put on the ball and close the ring of the stick.

Step 14:

Now we just have to attach our sleeper (or the earring hook of our choice) to the other ring of the cane and our earring will be ready.
