    This is lovely! If I may ask, what are you using to string the beads on? Wire or some kind of string? I tried beading a year ago and couldn’t decide which was better. Wire felt too rigid, braided nylon was too difficult for me to knot in the right place without any slack, and the elastic stuff kept breaking on me.

    I also couldn’t get my earrings to keep their form :/

      Thank you❣️ For most of my projects I like to use fishing line. Like you I find wire too rigid and nylon giving slack. I do hower use nylon from time to time. My preference or go to is generally fishing line. I like it’s durability and it holds form well. For this project I used Fluoro fishing line, low memory 10 lbs.
