Great! Gives me something to do in the holidays! I love earrings but I don’t have my ears pierced so I just replace the hooks with magnets I bought. They are so sophisticated!!! I’ve literally just started beading, so maybe I’ll attempt these later, the look rather complicated! Definetly helps having the pictures there as well. LOVE IT!!!
Cool! 🙂
oh wow this would go great with a choker of the same color its great
Great tutorial. I’m just getting into doing beading, and I much prefer when the tutorials have pictures for each step. As soon as I buy some chain I will definitely try making these.

Nice earrings and an easy to follow guide to making them. Just need to finishe them off with a Clear or Metal Drop Stop earring back so they won’t ride up and out of your earlobe by chance.
You can find these and more at http://www.EarringDoctor.com.
