Rustic Charm Earrings
About this design:
These fall ready earrings display an array of Czech glass with warm earthy colors and a touch of sparkle. This earring size is the perfect dangle length, they look great on.

You will need 20" of 20g wire, a variety of Czech glass beads (listed below), 8 African brass tiny tubes, ear posts, and 2 jump rings.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Cut 10" of wire. String the beads on in the order shown. Twist the two wire tails tightly together at the top. Trim off one tail. |
|
Step 2: Take the long wire tail and create a loop at the top, wrap the excess wire around tightly at the base of the loop and trim. I added a dot of glue on each side of the center coin bead to keep it from flipping. Attach your jump rings and ear post. |
