Concho Rattlesnake Earrings
About this design:
Our sinuous rattlesnake is elegant in this simple earring design. Gold and Turquoise are gorgeous together, but these would look great in silver or copper, too! Designed by Tracy Proctor.
Tip: The rattlesnake links can be positioned head up or down, or asymmetrically!
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
2 Concho Earring Post
2 Rattlesnake Link
2 Eye Pin 2" 21ga
2 Head Pin 2" 21ga
2 Gemstone 3mm Faceted Bead
2 Gemstone 5-6mm Chip Bead
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: String one 3mm gemstone bead onto one head pin. Use round nose pliers to form a simple loop large enough to attach to the rattlesnake link, trimming excess wire. Repeat. Set aside. |
|
Step 2: Repeat Step 1 using chip gemstone beads and eye pins. |
|
Step 3: Open loop of a 3mm bead dangle and attach to one end of a rattlesnake link. Close loop. |
