Great project for beginner or more skilled

I have been making jewelry for about 10 years now, but always hesitated to work with tiny beads and a needle. Took the plunge with this project and Julie's instructions made it easy! My friend adored them and did not notice that my thread bridges were not wuite as perfect as Julie's (Welcome back Julie!). This was first project using a needle and small beads, but now I am looking for more!

So easy even for a beginner!

I am not a beginner in jewelry making, but am to bead weaving with a needle. But these were so cute, had to try them and I am so glad I did. The tutorial was excellent (Welcome Back Julie!) and my only mistake was in thinking I could use some larger beads to begin with, but once I used the ones suggested everything went well. Do not look too closely at my thread bridges, they are not quite as neat as Julie's but I am sure that will come with practice! Made these for a friends birthday and she loves them!
