Fireside Teardrop Earrings

Step 1

Cut 3 inches of wire and slide it through the teardrop hole.

Step 2

First create bead charms out of the chrysoprase and green aventurine beads. I did five chrysoprase and 3 green aventurine for each teardrop. You could do more for a fuller look. Slide the bead onto your head pin and create a loop, wrap the excess around the base of the loop and trim. Follow the tip below if you need help.

Step 3

Slide the bead charms you made onto the teardrop wire. Make sure the beads are all on one side. Twist the wire together tightly. Then create a loop with one of the wire tails and wrap the excess around the base of that loop. Trim any excess wire.

Step 4

Open the loop on your ear wire and attach the earring.
