Beaded Flower Earrings
Photo and Project by The Learning Center
In honor of Spring 2015, I am posting this sweet little pair of Beaded Flower Earrings I found at the Panda Hall's Learning Center.

The earrings are made with a very simple stitch that I think anyone can do.

These earrings have two basic flower components to them, but I would add a third because I really like long earrings that almost reach the shoulder. If you like smaller, more delicate earrings, then you could easily stop just at one flower.

Either way - the choice is yours once you start making them.

Danish Love Knot

I love tutorials that teach you technique because then you can use it in several projects - like this Danish Love Knot by blueforestjewelry.

Once you learn the basic design, you can make a variety of projects with it. Like this pair of Danish Love Knot Earrings:

Or even this Danish Love Knot Bracelet:

The tutorial knot (get it?) only teaches you the basic Danish Love Knot, but you create it directly from the spool of wire - so no waste!

Easy Peasy Beaded Mirror

Beaded Mirror
Photo and Project by Delineate Your Dwelling.com
Sometimes a girl (or a guy) just needs a beaded mirror and here's one that's super easy to make. Hot glue, beads, a round mirror (try another geometric shape instead) and some cardboard are all you need - though I would probably use some thin plywood if this was going in a bathroom or other humid environment. Did you know any big box home improvement store will usually cut the plywood for you for free!? And, remember you could always recycle a mirror too.

Criss Cross Bracelet

Here is a pretty little crystal bracelet designed by Deborah Roberti:

Deborah uses RAW (right angle weave) to create this little beauty and, although she made a double row bracelet, I think you could easily stop and just one.

Plenty of step by step photos help you through the process - so, if you are new to Right Angle Weave, this is the perfect project to get your feet wet. If you already know RAW, then go ahead and make one - how about making it into a cuff by adding a few more rows -  huh?

Any who, click HERE to learn how.
