          Busy Bee Earring Tutorial

          This project uses Swarovski crystals. Created by: Tiffany White

          Designer Tips

          1. Tape the stamping blanks to the steel block. Use a permanent marker to draw lines where you want to stamp the phrase "BUSY BEE".
          2. When stamping, make sure that each letter is facing the correct way before you stamp.
          3. Use the pein (round) side of the hammer to texturize the stamping blank around the edges.
          4. Use the metal hole punch to make a hole at the bottom of the stamping blanks.
          5. Antique the brass with Novacan Black.
          6. Polish the blanks, so the lettering and texture pop.
          7. Polish the bee charms, so the details pop.
          8. Flatten the wings on the bees.
          9. Use a jump ring to attach the crystals at the bottom of the earrings.
          10. Use two jump rings at the top of both pairs of earrings to attach the bee charms and the earring wires.
