I just made a pair using this pattern and various shades of purple Czech glass beads- and instead of the dangle at the bottom, I put it in the center. They came out beautiful!! I think next time I would use a good quality beading thread instead of the wire, though. as it has to get wrapped and passed through and pulled tight repeatedly. After all that, I actually had a wire break- thank goodness it was near the finish and I was able to wrap it off without too much trouble.

I'd like to know how much wire you need to make one earring. It's not really stated in the instructions.

This is one of the projects that can be fun and yet turn out something gorgeous for you or a friend. It's so easy that you can't mess up. It's inexpensive depending on what beads you use. They don't have to be turquoise. I like to use Czech glass beads. They are pretty and won't break the budget.
