I remember when I first got back into jewelry a number of years ago, it was very unfamiliar territory. Up until then I had done a lot of jewelry and beading but it was as a youngin' with needle and thread and it was a hobby put aside as I went into high school.
After I had my son I wanted something to create because it's in my blood I suppose. I just can't keep my hands still. So I found some pearls online and HAD to buy them, I didn't know what I was going to do with them when they got there but I'd figure that out.
When they came I ended up making something similar to this design but with pearls. This design is a great on for beginners because it uses a lot repetition and is fairly simple. Trust me, you can do it!

I started a craft group with some friends and this was our February project. It went really well, pretty much everyone picked up on things pretty quickly and didn't have any problems.These pages are the pages I made and printed for them, which has all the instructions. You should be able to copy and print them (I'm not so savvy when it comes to those things though)
This is the basic step you'll be using to make all the flower blossoms, but instead of a circle bead you'll be using a flower ones (see bottom of page for where to find supplies, I am also selling kits)
Once you get that down pretty much all you'll need to know is how to open and close a jump ring to put the necklace/earrings all together. Easy peasy.
I drew these pictures, forgive me, I'm not artist but it works.
And for the necklace.....
Viola!
I made all these using the same techniques shown.
