Slightly Less Simple


I added handmade beads to the bottom of the Simple earrings. (pattern is here). How? After adding four small beads to the shuttle thread, I took the thread down through the large bead, through a tiny bead, then back up through the big bead and  tied a knot. The first ring is a single shuttle split ring, with the thread end hidden in the first half.
