Supplies you’ll need:

  • Gold Mixative
  • Cork Teardrop Focal
  • Czech Glass Daggers
  • Sea Green Mosaic Shell Round 4mm
  • Pink Agate Tube
  • Earwires
  • Headpins
  • Gold Crystal Rondelles 2mm
  • Needle & Thread
  • Super Glue

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Sew the Sea Green Mosaic Shell 4mm Rounds to the edge of the cork teardrop focal. Follow the steps from my embellished cork bracelet. Once your finished, knot the end of a piece of thread. Pull it though the back of the bottom of the cork, near the centermost bead.

Step

Step 2

Pull the needle through the hole of the bead in the center and slide a Czech Glass dagger onto the thread.

Step

Step 3

Pull the needle through the hole of the next round bead, so the dagger lays in between.

Step

Step 4

Slide two pink agate tubes & a dagger onto the thread. Pull the needle back up through the agate beads so the dagger hangs below them.

Step

Step 5

Pull the thread so the agate beads are up against the round beads. Push the needle through the cork & back up again. Repeat these steps to fill out the bottom of the earring.
