Jack-O-Lantern Earrings (Thread and Needle):
Prepare Materials: Thread two size 10 needles with Dragon thread (size 8). Cut about 4 feet of thread.
Start with Beads: String 4 orange beads in a row, passing the needle through each bead to form a circle.
Build the Pumpkin: Alternate adding orange and black beads, increasing the number of beads in each row from 4 to 5, then 6. This will form the pumpkin’s body and face.
Create the Face: Use black beads to form the eyes and mouth, alternating them with orange beads.
Add the Stem: Use a green bead to represent the stem at the top.
Reinforce and Finish: Pass the needle through the rows to tighten and stiffen the structure, then tie off the thread. Attach ear wires.
Candy Corn Pendant (Wirework):
Prepare Wire: Cut about 30 inches of 24-gauge silver wire.
Bead Setup: Start by threading six yellow 6mm beads onto the wire and folding the wire back through to create a base.
Add Orange and White Beads: Thread 5 orange beads and crisscross the wire through them. Repeat for the white top of the candy corn.
Shape the Pendant: Use your round nose pliers to create a loop above the candy corn. Wrap the wire around to secure it.
Attach Findings: Trim any excess wire and attach the pendant to a chain or ear wire.

I find it difficult to navigate the pages. When I am looking for something specific, there is not a place for me to simply type in what I am looking for.

I've been a professional beader for around 25 years. Your website and tutorials are simply the best. Well done! Don't change. Not happy with purchase of 3mm round crystal AB nor the 14mm and 18mm rivolis. Poor quality crystals. Dull.
