Crochet Bead Earrings

Back again!

*Ü*

Ever since I got the idea to crochet on the hoops, I've been interested in making some jewelry with crochet. I have a book called Hooked on Jewelry that shows how to crochet a bead cover with some stunning examples. I originally was going to make them for the girls' teachers, but was having a bit of difficulty getting the size of the crochet piece that covers the bead to fit properly.

Of course, after I finished the hoops, I tried again and it worked perfectly.

Go figure.

I covered the beads last week and needed to make the rest of the earring. I just finished these today.

Mind you, I'm pretty clueless as to how to put an earring together, so what I came up with may not be correct in terms of jewelry making, but it'll do. I like how they came out, anyway.

I took two pictures and figured why not share them both. In the one above you get a better look at the bead cap on the top and on the second picture you can see it better on the bottom.

I found out last week that Amy's former second grade teacher will not be at our school next year. While I won't go into details, it's not something she initiated and I'm not thrilled to hear that she is leaving. Jessica is going to be bummed to know she doesn't get a chance to have her as a teacher.

I wrote her a letter of recommendation and thought she might like these as a small gift to thank her for all the love and care she has shown Amy and to wish her well in her future endeavors.

Hope you are having a great day!
