Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 1 week ago
Today I have 2 projects that create a stunning set to wear as well as being fun and easy to create. The earrings are created all on a single piece of craft wire (my signature design) and include little stars and moons that dangle from a stunning ceramic tear drop bead. You will see that I add in special things like double bead caps and a tiny chain made from oval jump rings. The coordinating bracelet is made with table cut diamond beads alternated with glass diamond beads and has a creative beaded loop closure.
All these simple but effective techniques are done with the Soft Flex Design Challenge Kit for August 2026 called UNDER THE STARS. I love this little beading kit and appreciate getting my favorite crimp tubes and bead stringing wire along with fabulous beads to match!
