Put about 3 feet of thread onto a size 10 or 12 needle. String on 6 rounded DropDuos by the smaller hole at the top separated by 6 seed beads. Tie them into a loop. Leave a little bit of thread to tie off your project at the end. Add 2 of the smaller DropDuos in between each of the larger rounded duos.
Go around the project to decorate the outside with the gold seed beads. If you want to keep your earrings with more simple look you can leave the outside as is. When you get to the top add a silver seed beads and add the wire guard to it, give the thread a pull to keep the wire guard tight along the earring.
Bring your thread back to the middle to add the RounDuo. Use the gold seed beads around the RounDuo to give it a bezelled look. Watch Allie in the Dropping Blossom earring tutorial to see detailed step-by-step directions.
This is a fun and easy project that makes a great gift for a friend…or for yourself! These adorable Dropping Blossom Earrings are so cute and simple to make, and they’re perfect for spring.

Happy with the products, but disappointed that it so long to receive it. Item was ordered on April 29th and they shipped on April 30th first class mail- it finally came on May 21st. Good thing it wasn't anything that was needed right away.

It's obnoxious that the site tries to sell customers other things during the checkout process. The purchase button is brighter and more noticeable than the "No thanks" button, which probably tricks many naive customers and makes them not want to shop here again.
Service is excellent. Prompt response to orders and great care given to packaging and delivery.
