Materials Needed: 
 2 sterling silver french wires 
 2 sterling silver crimp beads 
 10 grams of transparent green lined brown beads 11/0 
 24 tiny glass leaves 
 24 button style glass flower beads (your choice of colors) 
 2 bead style glass flower beads (complimenting color) 
 2 yards Nymo size B 
 
Tools Needed: 
 crimp pliers 
 scissors 
 clear nail polish 
 size 11 needle 
 Thread Heaven 

Begin by threading your needle with your conditioned Nymo. String on one of the bead style flower beads, then 25 seed beads. 

Note:  I like to use a pair of hemostats to hold the end of my thread prior to stringing on my flower bead. 

String on one leaf  bead and one button flower bead, and 2 seed beads.  Turn and go through 2nd and 3rd bead prior to the leaf bead. 

Then turn and take your needle back through 2 more seed beads (going up toward the flower bead, not button flowers). 

**  String 2 seed beads, one leaf, one button flower and two more seed beads, turn and go through (upward direction) two more seed beads.       **repeat from here until you get back to the top, where the flower bead is and you have just one  or two seed beads left prior to flower. 

Next go back through the flower bead, add crimp beads, ear wire....go back through crimp bead and back down through flower bead and several seed beads.  Using crimp pliers, crimp the crimp bead, then trim the thread and you have one earring completed. 

Repeat instructions for second earring.

Materials needed:  

Use a package of polymer clay  (I use super sculpty) The color you want  your pins to be. 

Roll the clay out flat about 1/8 inch thick. 

Use a very small cookie cutter to cut out as many pins as you want.  I can get about 20 from a package of clay.  

Bake the pins according to the directions on the package.  

When the pins are cool, paint the design you want with acrylic paint.  I used a toothpick on this pin.  I dipped the toothpick into the paint and then touched it onto the star to make a dot. I repeated this over and over with different colors.  It's a good plan to practice making the  dots on a scrap paper before painting the pin.  

When the paint is dry (about an hour later) put a thin coat of glaze on the pin.  The glaze is sold where ever you buy polymer clay.  It is made for the clay.  My glaze is called Fimo glaze.  Let the pin dry  overnight.  Then glue a pin back onto the back of the pin.  This pin has  a tie-tac back on it.  This is an inexpensive project for groups.  The clay is less than $2.00  
The glaze costs more , but lasts a long time.
