Black Cat Earrings
About this design:
I used lava rock, seed beads, and cat ear bead caps to create these simple black cat earrings
Buy the supplies:
The products in this design are listed below.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Begin with a 2" piece of wire and make a loop at the top with round nose pliers. |
|
Step 2: Slide on the cat ears, an 8mm bead, a 10mm bead, and clamp down a crimp tube to hold the beads in place. |
|
Step 3: Use pliers to flatten the crimp tube against the bottom of the 10mm bead. |
|
Step 4: Cut the excess wire so it's about 3/4". |
|
Step 5: String on seed beads and fold the wire over to hold them in place. Use round nose pliers to gently curl the tail. Attach to an earwire. |

dolllady aka Pam says:Cute idea for earrings! I could also see making a necklace with the lava rock beads and another cat pendant to go with the earrings or make a bracelet with a smaller cat charm.

Little Round Chick says:Love black kitties. I’ve had several. They are great Halloween accessories…the ear rings not the kitties.
