Ocean Blossom Earrings
About this design:
I was in the mood for blues this week. I love the etched finish on the Czech Glass Hibiscus Flowers and the Table Cut Czech Glass beads add some sparkle.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
*21mm Czech Glass Hibiscus Flowers *Czech Glass Table Cut Beads *6mm Faceted round silver beads *Paddle Head Pins *Ear Wires (I listed a couple to pick from)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Slide the beads onto the head pin in the order shown. Use round nose pliers to create a loop, then wrap your excess wire around the loop and trim. Now you can attach your ear wire to the loop. |
