Designer Tips
Select your preferred plating and favorite color crystal mini drop bead. (Click into the Related Products tab of any item below for more colors in that shape.)
Refer to the Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF) for tips on using headpins, jump rings and more. Cut the heads off 2 of the pins, and loop both ends for the lotus beads.
You can hang both lotus beads one direction, or one up and one down (as I did in this design).

One or more parts (or tools) used in this project are no longer available, so we've moved the whole project into the "Misc Jewelry Tutorials with Issues" area while we decide what we want to do about it: find a good sub, re-make this project, or retire the tutorial.
