How to Make Bugle Bead Fringe Tassel Earrings with Soft Flex Beading Wire

This week on Free Spirit Beading with Kristen Fagan, we celebrated the birthday of Dr. Seuss, an American author and cartoonist best known for books such as "The Cat in the Hat" and "Oh, the Places You'll Go" and the inspiration for our Whimsical Beadtastical jewelry making design kit and bead mix! Of course, we also made a new jewelry project, this time it's a pair of bugle bead fringe tassel earrings with Soft Flex Beading Wire!

I personally wear earrings more than any other type of jewelry. I love the drama earrings can add to an outfit and these earrings do not disappoint! Long beaded fringe earrings are right on trend at the moment and they complement bohemian style fashion.

The silver lined bugle beads give this design extra sparkle and a luxe boho chic vibe, perfect with your favorite pair of denim blue jeans and so much more!
