When my son started Pre-school, he, like many other kids was not very fond of going to school. To make things worse, this was the first time he was staying without either me or my husband. School days were a struggle with equal parts of frustration and heart wrenching cries. But his teacher was so loving and caring that over a few days her presence in the school helped my son overcome his initial fear and reluctance to be away from us. I cannot thank her enough, and so decided to make a set with my own hands.




You'll need:

For the Necklace:

1- Pendent from Le Petite Jardin
1- 18" Brown Nylon cord Necklace

For the Earrings:

4- Metal Headpins
2- Ear backings
4- Antique Butterfly link

2- 4 mm Bicone Swarowski Crystal Topaz

4- Metal Headpins

Necklace: String the pendent on the nylon chain and the necklace  is ready.

Earrings: String the a 6mm peach bead, a 4mm topaz bead and then again a 6mm peach bead on a headpin and attach to one end of a butterfly link using basic technique A. Attach one more butterfly to the other end. Add a headpin to the top of the two connected butterflies. Attach an ear backing to the end of the headpin.

Bracelet: String one 6mm peach bead, 4 mm topaz bead and 4 mm peach bead on a headpin and form a loop like in Basic Technique A. Make 3 more charms like this.
