I know it's been a while. So enjoy the freebie.

Materials
- Approx 2g. 11/0 Miyuki round seed beads – white pearl ceylon #528
- Approx 1g. 11/0 Czech round seed beads – opaque light blue/green
- Approx 1g. 8/0 Miyuki round seed beads – light aqua ceylon #522
- Approx 1g. 8/0 Miyuki round seed beads – sky blue ceylon #524

- Nymo thread D, or your favorite thread.
- Beading needle
- Earrings studs or hooks *

* The exact earring studs I used here are from Chinese store, 8season.gift on ebay. You can use any earrings studs or hooks.

The size of the earrings is 1 x 1.5 inches.

 
The base of the daisy used eight 11/0s, and the top used 8/0. You can substitute 8/0 with 3mm round or even bicone beads.

If you want your daisies to be sturdy, use tight tension or you can pass through all the eight 11/0s base seed beads twice.

I used the path that I thought to be easiest for everyone to follow. There may be more than one path to achieve the same result. Feel free to play!

Abbreviation       
       - 11/0 Seed beads color A, white pearl = 11/0A

       - 8/0 Seed beads color A, aqua = 8/0A
       - 8/0 Seed beads color B, blue = 8/0B
