The 1-Step Looper pliers from The Beadsmith make it easy to create fabulous jewelry. Cynthia used the tool to make beaded dangles for this lovely pair of earrings. TierraCast components complete this Lush Labyrinth look. You can find more inspiration for using the 1-Step Looper in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
