Step by Step
1
To Make The Earrings
Thread the three beads onto a flat eye pin as shown. Twist the eye pin into a loop at the top and attach to an earring hook as shown.
2
To Make The Bracelet
Create three more sets of three beads threaded onto eye pins as in step 1. Again twist a loop in the top and put to one side.
3
Thread a large red bead and a small round bead onto two more eye pins and twist the tops. Again put to one side. Use an eye pin with a hooked end and add a large red bead and a silver bead. Twist the top into a loop and add a butterfly charm through the bottom loop as shown.
4
Add beads to a piece of wire in groups of three. Start with a small metal bead, next add one of the small eye pin charms created earlier, follow this with a small polished bead before finally adding a large red bead. Repeat this process as shown adding a different eye pin charm each time. When you are halfway around your bracelet (furthest from where the two ends meet) add the butterfly eye pin charm. Keep adding the beads in sequence until all of the eye pin charms have been used.
5
To finish secure the beads in place using a crimp bead at each end. Add a toggle and thread any excess wire back through the beads.
