In this video tutorial from PotomacBeads, Allie teaches you how to make a fun & easy "YoYo" necklace and earrings design using just cup buttons and seed beads. Find a list of supplies in the description below.
Create Beaded Beads: Start by threading two cup buttons back to back, encapsulating them with 15/0 seed beads, and secure with thread.
Assemble the Necklace: Using a needle and thread, add clasps, and string the beaded beads together, interspersing with 8/0 seed beads for spacing.
Add Final Touches: Finish the ends neatly, ensuring a professional look.
Create Matching Earrings: Follow a similar process, making smaller beaded bead units and attaching them to ear wires with wire guards for a cohesive set.
Create a double or tripple leather wrap with an extra flair. Use seed beads to create a delicate border to showcase a mosaic of gemstones, crystals and glass. This wrap is comfortable to wear and makes a great piece to take (or make) on a summer vacation destination.

Unable to locate cabochons without holes to glue into clasps. ( Like in the geometric bracelet). I want to design my own bracelet.
