Spring comes to mind immediately when you see these daisy lampwork beads, so I decided to make some spring inspired earrings when I saw them. The added bonus is a little butterfly bead which dangles and dances from an attached chain.

You'll need:

*2 daisy lampwork beads approx. 10-12mm
4 - 4mm Swarvoski emerald green bicone crystal beads
**2 - 6mm Swarvoski AB clear crystal butterfly beads
2 sterling ear hooks
6 - 2 inch sterling head pins
4 - 1 inch pieces of sterling chain (fiagro pictured)
Flat-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pleirs
Wire cutters

*The daisy lampwork beads were made by D.D. Hess.
**The crystal butterflies came from JS Beads.
