[@susanbaca6883]

I think you are a genius...the 2 links of chain at the top for the ear wire..... genius!!! Thank you. Beautiful design.

[@amyfields9502]

These are so simple and elegant Leslie! They would also be beautiful as elements in a matching bracelet or necklace.

[@mayolson2]

Your teaching method is superior.I have wanted to get back into beading and you have inspired me to give this a try, My beads are languishing in my beading corner for a very long time. Thank you

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Aww, thanks! I hope you do get out those beads--they are fun and have been a tremendous inspiration for me. :-)

[@INESsChest]

Yes, definitely get those beads out. I found it's very soothing to do beading projects and it gets my creative mind going as well. Have fun!

[@GoyoMerkier]

OK I AGREE. KEEP IN TOUCH

[@adithirosenani9829]

Lovely design.....

[@genevieveberens8299]

This is a wonderful tutorial. Instead o faceted rounds will it work also with Crystal pearls?

[@ishitab3615]

Thanks for the tutorial, very helpful. What do you do with the tail? and what chain do you use for the hanging element? Please let me know...I have a hard time finding the right chain to link....again thanks a lot.

[@SeedBeadBliss]

I take the tail through several beads and cut it. I prefer rolo chain-I think it makes the best shape.

[@lauragiampieri9265]

thank you so much! It's a great explanation!

[@anarosales9091]

Beautiful! What is the size of the links of chain you use?

[@lorrainesmith4074]

Love then so sparkly

[@lalithakarnan4893]

Thank u.very cute .

[@valerieperry6039]

Hi Leslie!! I made one of your earrings last night and I love it! Could you tell me where do I find those little chain link pieces that you add at the end to attach to the earring component? I’ve been looking and can’t find them. Thank you! Joyfully, Valerie

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Hi Valerie! I buy chain and cut it to have closed links. My favorite type is rolo chain, but any round links will do. Good luck!

[@valerieperry6039]

Seed Bead Bliss thank you! I’m new to this but loving it and your video was spot on perfect!!

[@catherinetorres8225]

These are beautiful! Will try making it. I have lots of rice beads but don't know what to do with them. I'm curious about the wire/thread you use though. What are the options to use as "thread"?

[@SeedBeadBliss]

I have used various threads for this, but experience shows that you want to keep things fairly stiff so the piece doesn't bend in your hand. A monofilament is probably best, but a doubled thread will also work.

[@jkprbabu1]

Would this design work with Rondelles in place of the bicones? Or a combination or bicones and rondelles?

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Why not? You will know right away when you start brick stitching them in whether they will fit in or not. And you can always adjust the spacing to create a slightly different shape if needed. Good luck!

[@cindybrook0520]

I did it! Thank you, Leslie. P.S. did you simply cut off the tail thread? Ty

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Yes! Good for you! Post a photo on my FB page so I can see!!😀

[@marydaley6583]

I love the idea of the chain links for the connectors! What size chain do you use? Love all your designs thanks for sharing your talent with us!!

[@SeedBeadBliss]

I don't have a specific size, and actually use 3-4 different ones--usually buy it in NY when I am there. I do prefer a rolo chain, however. It does make a professional finish.

[@kimleon-guerrero9980]

I love this design, thank you so much for sharing it. 💞💫

[@cindybrook0520]

I love these and can't wait to make them. Thanks, Leslie. Also, what color Delica did you use for the green pair? It's very pretty! Thank you.

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Cindy Brook good question...I think it’s 24. If not then 27. I use those two a lot.

[@cindybrook0520]

Thanks, Leslie. I have some 8mm Swarovski crystals out ready to give this a try as well as some 8mm cubes for Peyote. Thank you.

[@petracabanas6115]

Hi, is beautifull... But, i don have celicas... Can i use seed beads?

[@SeedBeadBliss]

You can use seed beads for sure! I'm not sure how many it will take to go around an 8mm bead--you will just have to see and divide the bicones up from there. Good luck!

[@petracabanas6115]

Thank you. I let you know jow they come

[@GiovanniGraziani]

Fantastic! Beautiful! One question: the 8mm pearl Swarosvky what type is it? Swarosky 5000?

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Yes, it looks like that is the number, 5000

[@cecilialofgren1396]

One question though, where can I find the finding you use?

[@susyj6868]

Hi Leslie, what size Delica beads?

[@texasgrandma17]

11/0 delica seed beads

[@SeedBeadBliss]

11/0 delicts! I rarely use the other sizes.

[@GoyoMerkier]

BEUTIFUL DESIGN. I THINK THAT IS POSIBLE TO DO IT WITH 24 OR 26 GAUGE COPPER OR SILVER WIRE

[@SeedBeadBliss]

Hi! If you do it with wire, let me know! I do not work with wire at all.

[@leeannjohnson1808]

Those would also make a very pretty bracelet if 5-6 of them were connected to each other.

[@freeangie11]

Supercute
