Let It Snow Earrings
About this design:
By Tracy Gonzales - Oh the weather outside is frightful, but these earrings are so delightful!
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- 2 6” Pieces 22g Craft Wire
- 2 TierraCast Snowflake Charms
- 2 TierraCast Gold-Filled 3mm Bead Earwire
- 2 5mm Round Jumpring
- 34 Silver & Clear Crystal Faceted Rondelle 3mm
- 14 Silver & Clear Crystal Faceted Rondelle 4mm
- 4 10mm Pearly White Freshwater Pearl Nuggets
- 2 Rock Crystal Faceted Teardrops
- Hand-Dyed Silk Ribbon
- 1 1/8” Mandrel
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: String three 4mm rondelles and six 3mm rondelles onto a piece of craft wire in a random pattern. Then string on 1 pearl nugget, one 3mm rondelle, one 4mm rondelle, 1 faceted teardrop, one 4mm rondelle, one 3mm rondelle, and 1 pearl nugget. Follow with two 4mm rondelles and eight 3mm rondelles in a random pattern. |
|
Step 2: Wrap the beaded wire carefully around the 1 1/8” mandrel to curve it into a circle. Twist the ends of the wire together at the top, forming a wrapped loop. Trim excess. Thread 1 open 5mm (ID) round jumpring through the wrapped loop, attaching a snowflake charm before closing so that the charm hangs inside the beaded loop. Attach an earwire to the wrapped loop. |
|
Step 3: Repeat for second earring. |
