Every girl needs a little sparkle in her life, right? 24% lead crystal beads (such as Swarovski™ or other brands) are one of my favorite things for adding a bit of sparkle to crochet projects. But for the times I want even more sparkle, I turn to DMC Jewel Effects floss. If you cross-stitch, you’re probably familiar with this wonderful thread. It’s also great to crochet with, whether as a single strand added to yarn or as several strands used as crochet thread. I hope you enjoy these beaded dreamcatcher earrings.

Jewel Effects floss is made up of 6 strands. Carefully separate the entire length of floss into two lengths of three strands each. Work very, very slowly to prevent tangling the
floss. It helps to wrap each separate length around a yarn bobbin as you go.

This pattern is only available when you join or renew your membership with the Crochet Guild of America.
