Hello hive! 🌟
This new month comes with a lot of peace, calmness, and celebration.
Last month, in one of my posts to this amazing community @diyhub, I made a tutorial on how to make perfect pearl cubes using straw beads and pearl beads. I promised to use those crafted cubes for jewelry, but the month got quite busy, and I couldn't make a follow-up post immediately.
Better late than never! Here's what I created:
Since I already had the pearl cubes ready, I decided to put them to good use. I made earrings for both my wife and my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law was so impressed that she chose to gift her pair to a friend as a birthday present!

Because I already had the pearl cubes made, it took me less than 5 minutes to create each design.
Process
For this design, I used
