Want to learn unexpected ways to use jewelry findings?
Cord ends, bead tips and crimp ends often languish in our stash, unused and unloved.
In today’s video I show how you can make super dangly pendants and earrings with these underappreciated findings.
The possible variations are endless!
This project combines so many of my favorites things:
- Jewelry with tons of sparkle and movement
- Super dangly earrings
- Unique ways of using jewelry findings
- A design with loads of possible variations and levels of complexity
In the video I show how to make use of a variety of findings (the types that often collect dust in our stash!) to create these lovely jewelry pieces.
I’ll also give lots of tips for how to change up this design to make it your own.
Here are the other videos I mention:

Oh, I love that format! You look so cute. Great backdrop! Now I have to go back and actually watch the tutorial. 😀
It’s funny, I didn’t buy that backdrop for ME. It was for a doll I wanted to photograph. But then one day I needed to record a talking head and there it was. Seems to work!
