Let's Bead Live May 21, 2022 1-4pm
1-2pm Tia Pearson - Coral Sorbet Tassel Earrings
Tap into your wire wrapping skills for this DIY! These fun-to-make gold and coral earrings are sparkly enough for a dressy night out, but the tassel also gives it a flirty and fun vibe. The wire wrapped earwires can be worn alone, without the tassel if you so choose, but the tassel sure does make the look!
