About one year ago I got a gift from my husband. He got me a set of handmade French beaded earrings and a matching necklace. On one of our dates we went to a MOA (Museum of Art) while there we stopped by the gift shop. I had him take photos of them in the gift shop of the museum so I could make them when I got home. Yes we asked first if it was OK to take the photos so I could make some and do this tutorial. To my surprise four days latter he gave them to me as a gift great guy there. I still wanted to make some and figured as I did it I could also make a tutorial so others could make them too. As you can see from resent posts I have made lots of French wire bead work as have my children. But it was real special to have a set I did not make.So if you would like to make a set for yourself below are the supplies and instructions and tutorial will follow in a few days.
supplies for the earrings
- 10 oval fresh water pearls with hole going length size 4-5 mm
- 2 Swarovski crystals for the center of the flower size 4 mm bi-cone
- 4 rock chip beads about the same size as the other beads
- 2 French wire earrings
- size 22-24 gauge wire just small wire smaller is better match color to your French wire
and of course usual wire tools
Watch for tutorial in the next few days this way you have time to hit the after Christmas / New Years sales and get the supplies.
