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.

My son gave me a gift card for Christmas which he found easy to purchase (did it online). I ordered practical items that I use all of the time. I added the clip on magnifier light because you can't have enough magnification. It has quite a large viewing area and I was very pleasantly surprised. It seemed like it took a while for this package to arrive, but I have plenty of projects to keep me busy. The only contact I gave was when I was asked if the package had arrived.
Very difficult finding what I was looking for. Took over an hour.
