Sparkling Star

The book that used the tutorial from states that these are stars, but I cannot un-see them being flowers. This I find very easy-to-make and very often-to-use earrings. Maybe that is why I have already made thousands of them.

Materials needed:

Beads of 2 or 3 colours;

Side cutting pliers;

Plastic wire;

Earring hooks.

Use this page from a Russian book of beaded jewelry as a tutorial:

Beadweaving Is My Way to Relax

These huge earrings take up much time to finish but the result is unbelievably gorgeous.

Here I want to share the pattern I used to make my first pair of Bohemian earrings, but experience comes and I can easily change the pattern and size now.

Materials and tools needed to bead this Bohemian Style Earring:

12/0 Glass seed beads;
8/0 Glass seed beads;
Nylon wire;
Earring hooks;
Side cutting pliers.

Star Motive Pendant

Here I am going to share an almost "super simple" way to make the Star Motive pendant. The result of my first trial.

And these are several pictures of a DIY tutorial taken from a French site.

You will need:

Seed beads of colour A, B and C - size R11;

1 wooden bead - 16 mm.

Follow the tutorial on these 12 pictures to make the two halfs like on photo n. 12.

 After the 2 similar beaded halves are ready, insert the wooden bead inside one of them, cover with the second half and connect.
