Conetastic Tribal Earrings featuring Jesse James Beads

Hello, everyone! It's been almost two weeks since my last video project and I'm a day later than my normal Sunday uploading schedule - but, yesterday was Easter so I have a good excuse.. as for the two weeks in between.. I don't really have a good excuse! I have been working on other projects and just got a bit behind with everything. My apologies.

Today's project is a fun and easy pair of earrings using the Conetastic tool - which I LOVE and some really cool Jesse James Beads from the Goddess Ix Chel Mini Bead Mix. I love this mix. You can also buy it in a bundle with two gorgeous strands and an additional bead mix in this Goddess Ix Chel Bead Bundle. I have the entire set and I am absolutely in love with it. If you haven't had a chance to check out Jesse James Beads' Goddess Collection, the entire collection is amazing!

If you are interested in checking out other projects featuring the Conetastic tool, Beadalon has some other great project ideas on their website, featured HERE. There are so many cool uses for this tool. I use it all the time. The cones are great for covering the ends of multistrand designs, kumihimo ends and tassel toppers. I hope today's project will inspire you to grab one if you don't have one already and try it out for yourself. There is a clickable link for the Conetastic, as well as the other supplies used in today's project, below.

Wire Wrapped Czech Glass Hoop Earrings

Happy Weekend, Y'all! I've got another fun earrings project for you. I know I've been focusing on earrings a lot lately but let's be honest - you can never have too many pairs of earrings! These are super cute and really easy to make. They work up pretty fast and are a great way to use up drop beads that you may have. I really love that the wrapping in this project is what I consider "messy".. the wraps between beads need to be nice and consistent but the wraps around the Czech beads are more freestyle and therefor don't have to be perfect. It's nice to have that kind of freedom from time to time, especially for someone like me who is such a perfectionist. I can give myself a break with these earrings.
