Fuchsia Flower Earrings, a Project How-to

Enjoy this lovely guest tutorial by Debra Lowe!
I made these little earrings as an experiment and thought I would share the finished earrings and explain how to make some for yourself.
You’ll need:
- 10 small glass leaf beads with a crossway hole at the top
- 4 Baroque pearls in a bud shape
- wire of your metal choice, I used brass
- 2 petal shaped bead caps
- 2 small green crystal beads
- Brass ear wires
The caps, wire color and glass bead colors are up to you, I used pink leaf beads and burgundy baroque pearls.
Slip a fair length of wire through 5 of the leaf beads and manipulate into a circle, twist the wires so the petals are snug.
Wire 2 baroque pearls (flat sides together) twist to snug it up and make a pin. Use the twisted part as a head/eye pin and go up through the circle of leaf beads and manipulate it to the look you want for your flower.
Slip a petal cap on the wire, then a little green crystal and curl the wire into a loop to attach to the ear wire.
Finished earrings. I hope I have explained this well enough to understand, if not feel free to ask~
