In less time than it takes to watch this video, you can make this pretty, patriotic pendant and earrings.

You can use whatever materials you wish, but the beads and charm shown in this tutorial came from the Gemstone Orphanage Firecracker Tween box. Each box includes the items used here, but also a whole bunch more semi-precious, crystal, and glass beads, unique findings, one special Gemstone Orphanage pendant with adoption papers, and a whole bunch of other jewelry-making stuff, specially curated for you.

All of the Firecracker Tween boxes have sold, but we still have a few of our May Gemstone Orphanage Subscription boxes available:

These boxes can be bought as a one-time purchase or as a start to a b-monthly subscription. You chose.

We also encourage you to join our little family on the Gemstone Orphanage Facebook Group Page:
