I am so happy I found this. I found a bunch of these Tear drop Beads in a thrift shop And Didnt Know How I would use them. This Ie easy and yet pretty as can be. i cant wait to get started . i Have So Many Colors To Make.

I agree with the designer. This is an excellent beginner project . I have many friends who liked what I made and wanted to learn to make their own. But all I hear us, it's too hard, or complicated, can't you just make it? This should really do the trick. It's very easy, well written and very cute. I am going to give each one of them a copy and let them try it on their own. Thank you.

With the number of beads used, I would guess at a two inch head pin, NorasGranddaughter with the loop to be made, slightly longer might be needed. These earrings would go well with the Open Seas Bracelet if one were to use the same beads

These are beautiful. What size of head pin is required?
