If you haven't heard about this book, then you're in for a surprise. There's something very unique about the jewellery designs in the book... there's not a single bead in it!
Every piece of jewellery is made solely from jewellery findings and to show you how versatile findings are, this earrings project is made entirely of daisy spacers!
 |
If you're not familiar with daisy spacers, they're usually placed between beads to space them out and accent the bead. They add a nice metallic element to your jewellery design. Some daisy spacers are called snowflake spacers.
They come in a vast array of sizes and they interlock nicely within each other so you can stack them together in different ways to create interesting bead-like shapes, like these "Shadows" earrings.
Four 4mm bright silver daisy spacers
Four 5mm bright silver daisy spacers
Four 5.5mm silver daisy spacers
Four 6mm silver daisy spacers
Six 7mm silver snowflake spacers
Two silver ball head pins
Two silver ball end earring wires
The finished length of these earrings is 1½" (4cm), so they're not too large or heavy to wear.
Follow this easy tutorial to make a pair of your own. Here's what you'll need:

How to Make Easy Daisy Spacer Earrings
String three 3mm, one 4mm, and one 5mm bright silver daisy spacers onto a headpin. Then string on one 5.5mm, one 6mm, and three 7mm silver snowflakes. The second 7mm snowflake is the centre point of the earring.
String the second half of the earring in reverse to match the first half.

Push all the spacers firmly together so that each one nestles into the one next to it.

Then, create a wrapped loop after the last daisy spacer. See how to do that here. A wrapped loop is better than a simple loop in this situation because it keeps the small 3mm spacers from creeping up the headpin and onto the loop.
Slip the loop onto the earring wire and close the hook.
How EASY was that?!!

Now, make a second earring to match and show them off to the world!
