My seed bead collection is ever-growing, so making jewelry with a bit of sparkle is a perfect way to spend my time (and beads). The pattern smoothly transitions from round to square to diamond as you work. Try mixing and matching thread and bead colors to make earrings that go great with spring and summer outfits.
