Cosmic Tulip Earrings
About this design:
For some reason when I looked at the tulip beads I immediately thought long dangly earrings. I wanted them to be fringy but dainty, they turned out exactly how I wanted. Finished earring length is 4".
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
You will need Czech glass tulip beads, 4mm & 3mm jump rings, 1ft of stainless steel chain, lever backs, 1/2 strand of lavender amethyst 3-3.5mm faceted rounds, 1/2 strand of 4mm amethyst faceted rondelle, 3mm heishis, eye pins, and head pins.

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Cut 3 pieces of wire in each of these lengths: 2" - 1.75" - 1.5" Do the same for the second earring. |
|
Step 2: Slide the tulip bead onto the eye pin and create a loop at the top. Make 2 of these. See Tip: Make a Wire Wrapped Bead Link |
|
Step 3: Slide the amethyst beads onto the head pins and create a loop. Make 6 bead charms. 4 lavender amethyst charms and 2 amethyst charms. See Tip: Wire Wrap a Charm |
|
Step 4: Use the 3mm jump rings to attack the bead charms to the chain. Use the 4mm jump ring to attach the chain to the tulip. |
|
Step 5: Attach your ear wire. You can add beads to embellish the ear wire if you want. |

Crystal Canary says:Love the lengthy staggered chain below the tulips. The way you decorated the earring findings with the daisy spacers is an outstanding idea too. Classy pair of earrings with a touch of sparkle just in time for the blooming flowers.
