Sugar Plum Fairy Earrings




I made these earrings today and Mum loves them! She said they look something like the Sugar Plum Fairy... which is exactly what I think! Surprisingly, they were not all that simple. It was a little difficult getting them to stay in place when I was twisting the wire around at the top to make them firm, but I was very pleased with the result! I got the beads (stars and petals) off a bracelet I have had hiding in my draws for years... I was glad to be able to get good use out of them :)







And these are a few pairs of other earrings I have made. On Saturday I'm going to be selling them (or trying to) at the markets. I hope I can get rid of them! I've had them hanging in my room for so long... the sight of them drives me crazy! Well, not quite :P

Those are beautiful, Rachel! :) LOL, I know what you mean... I have tons of beaded jewelry in my room. I was planning on selling them, but eventually decided not to, so now they're just sitting on my beading table. I wear them sometimes, of course, but that's a lot of jewelry! :) Oh, well. They make lovely gifts, right? :)
