If you have ever made drop earrings before, it's like making them. Most that make them here use leverback earring posts. I didn't have any of those on hand when I made mine, only large lobster claws like for an necklace clasp and no money to buy the other.

 

But they work for me, just have to be a little more careful when putting on and off the yarn so it doesn't catch.

you get some head pins, some earring wires with a lever back. a pair of needle nosed plier and some cute little beads. you put the beads on the head pin with the flat piece at the bottom cute little beads on top of that then using your needle nose pliers make a small loop at the top part. Headpins are pretty cheap so you might want to practice this part a little. I like to wrap the excess a time or two around the part just above where the beads sit. you can cut the excess with wire cutters. Then all you have to do is attach the little loop part to the earringholder and presto you got yourself a cool little stitch marker. just take it a step at a time and you will amaze your friends with your creativity.

Nice site, just substitute the lever back for the rings so when finished you can attach the stitch markers to your crochet. (Rings, as shown on the site, are for knitting)

 

You may wish to use alphabet beads to be able to know what size of crochet hook you are using on the project. (This is good if you loose your hook or use it on another project, and come back to finish the original project.)

http://www.firemountaingems.com is my online source. Another place that just started carrying beads and is sometimes cheaper is www.orientaltrading.com. My local Walmart also has some beading supplies. I hope this helps!

oh, I lost my whole box of them once, and used paperclips, cause I wasn't stopping in the middle of the process to go buy more.

MooMooo,

 

Do you have a Walmart near by? I know they have oodles of stuff at my walmart - they also have beads and supplies at one of my $1 stores (the one that was $1 store, then the $1.05 store now it is back to $1 store - LOL!!) I bought some there but then found that walmart had more in a package for alot less - the beads at the $1 store is still a good price, just the ear clips and the head pins were cheaper

 

In regards to my PM do you still need/want me to do it?

[moomooo]

Hi Proudmamma:

 

Yes plase as for the PM yes please do me that favor sweetie..
