I love long earrings. I think they look feminine and hope that they make your face look thinner. A girl can dream, can't she? These are easy to make, lightweight, and will go with a variety of outfits. At work or a night out on the town, every woman needs a pair of pearl earrings. Have fun!
Total Time: Less than 30 minutes
Yield: 1
Source: These came in a tiny jewelry kit I once bought from a grocery store years ago.
Supplies:
- jewelry needle nose pliers
- jewelry wire cutters
- 2 head pins
- 2 eye pins
- small length of silver chain
- 8 tiny clear seed beads
- 2 small clear glass beads
- 2 medium sized pearl colored beads
- 2 fish hook ear wires
Steps:
- You will begin by adding 2 seed beads and one larger clear glass bead to your eye pin like so.
- You will cut the wire here.
- Now curl the end with your pliers to secure.
- Carefully open the end of your ear wire and insert your bead stem, close the circle again.
- Now carefully open the bottom circle of your eye pin, insert 9 links of small metal chain.
- Close.
- Now put 2 small seed beads and one large pearl on the head pin like so.
- Cut here.
- Curl the end, placing the other end of the chain links on your wire before closing.
- All done!
- Now you can enjoy them or give them away as gifts. Don't forget to make 2!
- These are 2 3/4" long from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the pearl.
Remember, you can easily change the look by varying chains and beads.
