This is a very simple jewelry design to make if you are researching how to make earrings. This earring project was requested by one of our customers.

Best video yet on this technique. Can't wait to try it. Only suggestion is your nails were a bit of a distraction! |

The three previous reviewers said it best and I second their sentiments! I'm still learning and practicing jewelry making techniques as I watch Karla's videos. I completely agree with what reviewer "Peggy" wrote - Karla does have a way of instilling "confidence" in those of us to "keep trying"! |

Karla - you give such clear verbal and visual instructions; you're absolutely the best! I refer to your videos many times to remind me the correct way to do things and you make it look easy which gives me the confidence to keep trying; wonderful hobby. Thank you so much. |

Karla...you are the best instructor! I haven't taken any classes on making jewelry, except from you. I am making earrings by the dozens, necklaces, bracelets, and rings, and selling them. I owe it all to you, you have taught me for over a year, and I love making jewelry! You have helped me to maintain my sanity after I had to retire after a severe back injury. I have gone from being a registered nurse to a jewelry maker! I owe all the thanks to you, ...Linda Smith |
