This is such a versatile little flower and really easy to make. Once I started I couldn't stop and made 3 pairs of earrings with it. Thumbs up for this one!

Eni, this is so simple and yet so versatile. Combining complimentary colors really makes them pop! And using pearls and gemstones makes very elegant components. Everyone who sees them falls in love! Thanks for a great "staple" we can use over and over! Karyn

i would like to know what the size of the teardrops are.... 1/2 in high? Length please? I want to use up a stash, but need an idea of the size please? thank you.

The size of the teardrops can be anything you like, but I recommend starting with the largest size possible (at least 3/4inch long by 1/2 wide), so that can hold them a little bit easier.

I wish I had bought this tutorial sooner. These flowers really are addictive! I've already used up all my briolettes making these. lol. At least now I have an excuse to go supply shopping again though.

Oh, I know -- there was a time when I think I made dozens and dozens of these flowers! And there are so many fun variations, right! Can't wait to see what you can come up with,
Eni
