4th of July Earrings

By Carol Ladine Lagoski

www.creationsbycarolladine.com

 

 

 

TOOLS AND SUPPLIES:

Sterling Ear Hooks

2 Headpins at least 2” long

2 blue 8mm beads

2 red 8mm beads

4 – 6mm Daisy (or other)  spacer beads

2 white tube or spaghetti beads 6x15

 

 

Round nose pliers

Flush cutter

Chain nose pliers

 

I used dyed fossil beads here and the white beads are vintage.  You can use any kind of beads you have or like.  Do try and use the same sizes though.

 

 

STEP 2:

Take one of your head pins and:

String on one red bead

one spacer

one white tube style bead

one spacer

one blue bead

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 3:

Take your round nose pliers and grip the end of the head pin just above the last bead.

 

  

 

 

 

STEP 4:

Bring the end of the head pin over and around the pliers making a loop.

 

 (example)

 

 

 

STEP 5:

Bring the tail back around your base head pin using your chain nose pliers.  Clip if needed and clamp tight.

 

 

(example)

 

 

Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the second earring………. 

 

 

STEP 6:

Add your earwires and you’re done.

 

 

 

 

Have a wonderful and safe 4th of July!
