Years ago my daughter made bracelets for Christmas gifts. We ordered a bunch of beads, and even after the bracelets, this is what was left. I've been wanting to learn how to make simple earrings, and so it seemed a good excuse to use up at least some of them.
I headed to the library for a book {the Easy Beading book over on my right-hand sidebar}, picked up some sterling silver ear wires and headpins from the craft store with my 40% coupon, and borrowed my sister's jewelry pliers and cutters.
In a short while I had four pair of earrings! Now, don't look too closely or you will see my wraps and loops are not exactly perfect, but I'm hoping no one will notice...
Very fun, and easy! I think I'll try some in gold next...
