Jewelry set with glass beads are very popular for a long time, and will continue. Here I’d like to share two ideas about how to make simple but fabulous glass beads jewelry set with you. The first jewelry set include earrings, bracelet and necklace. They are designed with blue faceted round glass beads, pearl beads and tiny CCB acrylic bead spacers. Let’s make earrings first. First, string a blue glass bead on ball headpin and make it as bead pendant. Repeat it for 3 more times. Second, put a blue bead on ball headpin, and then add the four bead pendants on this ball headpin too. Then, string another blue bead, a tiny CCB acrylic bead spacer, a pearl bead and one more bead spacer on headpin, and use round nose jewelry plier to make a loop at top of bead spacer. Third, attach this beaded earring drop onto the ring of earring hook. Repeat these steps to create the other one. About the bracelet, use ball headpins and 12pcs blue glass beads to make them as 12pcs bead pendants. Then, string a crimp bead and lobster clasp on jewelry wire, and turn the wire back to make a loop to hold the clasp and stop the other jewelry beads fall off. Third, string the jewelry beads and bead pendants like the layout on the picture. Fourth, add a crimp bead and jump ring at end to stop beads fall off. Fifth, add an extended chain on the jump ring to make this bracelet is adjustable. The steps about making necklace are the same as making bracelet.

The second idea about jewelry set with glass beads very fashion too. I choose light Khaki faceted glass beads, Tibetan style beads, brass tube beads, steel memory wire and brass earring hooks for this design. About bracelet, cut off your memory wire with about four circles, and then string the beads on wire like the layout on the picture. Use your round nose jewelry plier to make a loop at two ends to stop the jewelry beads fall off. About the earrings, string the beads on headpin and make a loop at the top, and then attach it to the Tibetan style pendant. The last step is attaching the whole earring pendant on earring hooks. Repeat the steps to create the other one.

The two ideas of jewelry set with glass beads are very simple to be created, but also very fabulous and suitable for beginners to start their jewelry making. Are you falling in love with these lovely glass beads and jewelry designs? It is time to create your own jewelry designs.
