Ghost Earrings

I made these fun ghost earrings today.  There are a few small flaws, because it was my first time trying to do this stitch, but they turned out adorable.  I started making them initially several days ago using the supplies I had on hand.  That attempt ended in disaster when I could no longer get my needle through the seed beads.  Can I just say that thread type matters?  Today I started again after getting some One-G thread and this time I succeeded.  They are a simple design, but it did take me about 4-1/2 hours to complete the pair.

They are so so cute!  I followed a tutorial on Youtube by Beauty Beads Land that was posted five months ago.  I had promised to make them for my daughter for Halloween, but ended up doing a theatrical production at the last minute that took up a lot of my time, so it never happened.  She'll wear them any time of year so better late than never!  She loves them!
