    Quick Project Steps

    Jack-O-Lantern Earrings (Thread and Needle): Prepare Materials: Thread two size 10 needles with Dragon thread (size 8). Cut about 4 feet of thread. Start with Beads: String 4 orange beads in a row, passing the needle through each bead to form a circle. Build the Pumpkin: Alternate adding orange and black beads, increasing the number of beads in each row from 4 to 5, then 6. This will form the pumpkin’s body and face. Create the Face: Use black beads to form the eyes and mouth, alternating them with orange beads. Add the Stem: Use a green bead to represent the stem at the top. Reinforce and Finish: Pass the needle through the rows to tighten and stiffen the structure, then tie off the thread. Attach ear wires. Candy Corn Pendant (Wirework): Prepare Wire: Cut about 30 inches of 24-gauge silver wire. Bead Setup: Start by threading six yellow 6mm beads onto the wire and folding the wire back through to create a base. Add Orange and White Beads: Thread 5 orange beads and crisscross the wire through them. Repeat for the white top of the candy corn. Shape the Pendant: Use your round nose pliers to create a loop above the candy corn. Wrap the wire around to secure it. Attach Findings: Trim any excess wire and attach the pendant to a chain or ear wire.
