SuperDuo Star Blooms Poinsettia Necklace and Earrings

Tutorial and Components

Created by our in-house designer So Vang, you can make this holiday theme, star blooms necklace and earrings set with this FREE illustrated tutorial.

Necklace Extra Tip

When you have finished stringing together your five components, we have two options on how to attach your 24” chain.

First, you can sew the chain at the end of the SuperDuo as shown in our photo below. Refer to the illustrated tutorial or image to see that you connect the chain end to the SuperDuo across from the connected SuperDuo of your side poinsettia component.

Or, secondly you can use a small gauge jump ring to slide through theSuperDuo like how we’ve shown here. However, not all SuperDuo holes are large enough for the jump ring to slide through. If it does not, going with the first option will be best to adding your chain.

SuperDuo Southwestern Star Bloom Style

Don’t think you are limited to just a holiday-hued necklace. Try out different combinations of colors and make it your own. We’ve used turquoise and deep coral to create ours above.

Cozy up this winter and make these beaded snowflake ornaments. Hang them on your holiday tree, decorate your door frames, dangle them in front of your window pane or use them in place of bows on your gifts! Learn to make snowflake ornaments with our EZ DIY GoodyBeads Series tutorial.

From Nunn Design®, comes a fun tutorial on how to use Glitter Roxs and Gel du Soleil. Hop on the trend wagon and make a super easy pendant with glitter roxs.

Gel du Soleil

Gel du Soleil is a UV light sensitive resin. There is no mixing, no waste and the gel cures in 20 minutes when exposed to UV light. Because it is UV light sensitive, all aspects of the Gel du Soleil MUST be exposed to UV light in order for a piece to cure.

Glitter Roxs

Glitter Roxs are small pieces of translucent glass flakes imported from Germany. Because of their translucent quality, they fit the necessary restriction of curing success! Light can pass through the colored glass and cure.

Glitter Rox and Gel du Soleil Tutorial

Nunn Design Supplies:

• Glitter Roxs
• Gel du Soleil
• Nunn Design Findings/ Bezels
• UV Lamp

Tools Needed:

• Wet wipes
• Toothpicks or headpins
