Blueberry Earrings

I just LOVE creating food themed jewelry!  These blueberry earrings are my newest addition to my collection of fruit jewelry.  I have created many fruits including (but not limited to) a Strawberry Bead Charm, Pear Bead Charm, Beaded Cherries, etc.  I've done other foods such as a Hamburger Bead Charm, S'more Bead Charm, Cupcake Bead Charm, even a Turkey Leg Bead Charm for Thanksgiving!... The list goes on and on.  They all have one thing in common:  They use simple bead shapes to create the intended item.  These earrings are no exception.  I simply used dark blue pearls to represent the blueberries themselves.  

What really transforms a simple pearl into a blueberry is the "blossom" end.  These are also common, easy to find elements.  I simply used a light blue cupped flower sequin, backed with a light green cupped flower sequin.  This created that iconic blueberry shape.  In my video, I demonstrate how simply putting these shapes together can create a blueberry.  But you could certainly take this up a notch by creating dangling clusters of blueberries, leaf beads, and flower beads.
