Songbird Earrings
by Ali on 10/22/20
About this design:
These Gaea pieces are perfect for a great pair of earrings! Artsy, statement pieces just waiting to be embellished are a dream for me :)
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- Gaea Original Art Little Birds
- 2-3mm faceted gemstone beads
- 2 earwires
- 14 headpins
- 6 jump rings
- needle nose & bent nose pliers
Step-by-Step Instructions:
![]() |
Step 1: Begin with a great selection of tiny beads. I like to use tiny faceted gemstones, but I imagine you could also do this project with seed beads too. String 4-6 beads on each headpin and wire wrapping a loop to make them into a charms. |
![]() |
Step 2: Layout your headpins in the order that you want to attach them to the chandelier focal. |
![]() |
Step 3: Place each grouping onto a jump ring and attach to the appropriate hole placement on the the chandelier focal. See Tip: Closing A Jump Ring |

Beady Little Eyes says:Ali – I love your colorful design. Hadn’t seen the bird chandelier before. Is that a thistle in the background behind the birdie?
