Mix it up and use a different color of the #5040 12mm Rondelle Beads or the top 6mm Rondelle Beads. There are also 4mm and 8mm sizes for you to play with. If you're feeling adventurous, try mixing up two different colors. You can also change the metal color by using different earring hooks and head pins and exploring different types of bead caps.
When substituting in items, pay attention to sizes and styles to make sure all your pieces will fit together.

Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
