This is my first pair of earrings, and I think 5th bracelet. I bought a pack of glass pearls from Wal-Mart and went crazy making them for Christmas. I got a lot of inspiration from other projects on this site. Learning the slipknot for the jump ring took more than a little bit of practice. I'd always manage to unknot it before I got the ring in or I'd snip the wire too close to the ring without knotting and it would completely fall apart. (http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/chained-pearl-bracelet) I didn't know how to make the earrings until I bought eyepins and followed a tutorial that showed how to bend them into circles and wrap the wire around. (http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/how-to-wire-wrap). I attached them to pre-bought earring hooks, but I also learned how to make them by bending an eyepin around a pencil!
