Dragonfly Earrings
Jenifer Smith (The Family Jewels) created these adorable earrings and I just had to make a pair for myself. The glass daggers can be found in many colors, and I think they make perfect dragonfly wings!

Create the tail of the dragonfly by alternating three seed beads and three crystals on a head pin. Make a simple loop at the top of the head pin.
Create the head of the dragonfly by stringing a single crystal on an eye pin. Finish with a wrapped loop.
Create the wing section by stringing the tail on the jump ring. Add a seed bead to both sides of the jump ring, and follow with a glass dagger. Add the second set of daggers, and finish with two seed beads at the top of the ring. Close the jump ring, and attach to the simple loop of the head section.
Attach the dragonfly to the earring finding at the head (wrapped loop end). Repeat instructions for second earring.
