I would like to say thanks to Rosita for the inspiration of cupcakes :)) I faved your project One of the red beads snapped off the top so one of the earrings has an extra bit of wire and looks a bit strange. Sorry about the picture quality; the light wasn't very good and my camera seems to have lost the ability to focus :S Also, if you come across this and have done the same thing then please tell me, I have not intentionally stolen ideas.

Start by placing the hama beads on the board. You could use any colors but I have chosen sparkly clear for the icing with a red cherry on top. Place a bit of greaseproof paper over them and press on them with a hot iron (no steam!) for about 20 seconds or so. I think I did mine for a little too long as the paper stuck to the back on the top :(
Get together your supplies. I was going to do something else so put some gold beads in the photo but by the time I decided not too I had made one earring so couldn't re-take the photo.
If, like me, the top snapped off one then get a larger jump ring or wrap some wire around a pencil and snip it off to make a larger jump ring. Poke this through the top red and the middle top white and close it with the pliers.
For the other, un-snapped one I just put a normal jump ring through the top hole and through the hole in the earring wire. Close up the jump ring.
TA_DAA! A finished, very cute, pair of earrings :)
