Callisto Moon Earrings
About this design:
Czech glass moon faces and stars shine bright in these whimsical earrings. I also used moonstone links to add drama & cosmic shimmer.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
You will need 2 crescent moon focals, Czech moon faces and stars, 2 head pins, 2 eye pins, 2 moonstone links, a pair of ear wire and 4 jump rings. I added several options of Czech glass in the buy product list, pick the favorites you would like to use.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Slide your moon face bead onto the head pin. Feed the head pin end through the crescent focals loop. Wrap the excess wire once around the top of the moon face bead and trim off any excess wire. |
|
Step 2: Slide a star bead onto the eye pin and create a wire wrapped bead link. Follow the tip below for help. See Tip: Make a Wire Wrapped Bead Link |
|
|
Step 3: Now attach the crescent focal, star and moonstone link together with the jump rings. |
|
|
Step 4: Attach the moonstone link to the ear wire. |

Crystal Canary says:Wow, these are great. The pink opal star snuggled between the glistening Moonstone & dark blue moon is a nice play of color. I really like your creative idea in wrapping the blue moon to the gold crescent–I would never have thought of this. The gold is perfection in this design. Super job!
