Beehive Earrings
Designed by Ashley Bunting
Winter is finally coming to an end and I am ready for some color! These beehive beads are perfect for spring. They come in all the happy spring colors. Bright colors and warm rosy copper helps fight off the winter blues.

Step 1: Make the bead link at the top of the earring. Do this by snipping the head off of a head pin and turning a loop. Feed one beehive bead on the pin (I chose to use the padparadsha but you can choose any color). Make a large close wrapped loop. Set aside.

Step 2: On to four separate head pins feed one beehive bead of each color. Trim the ends of the pins. Trim 1/8" off the first, 2/8" off the second, 3/8" off the third, and 1/4" off the fourth. Turn a loop at the end of each pin. Repeat this step with four more pins and four more beads.

Step 3: Attach the first four dangles to the large wrapped loop on one side of the bead dangle. Attach the second set of four dangles.
Step 4: Attach the earwire to the small loop end of the bead link. Repeat all steps for the second earring.
The End!
