Put a little jingle in your holiday festivities with this pair of red Pearl and silver Bell Chandelier earrings.  This is a super easy project.

 

I made this pair to be 3” in length measuring from the top of the earwire. 

 

 

 

MATERIALS:

 

14” Beadalon silver stringing wire cut into two 7” lengths

 

One pair silver earwires

 

2 silver crimp beads

 

2 silver crimp covers (optional)

 

6 10mm silver jingle bells

 

6 8mm red Faux Pearls

 

You may substitute the pearls with other types of red beads if you wish.

TOOLS:

 

Crimp Pliers

Chain Nose Pliers

Flush Cutters

Step 1

 

 

Take your 7” wire and thread on three bells and four beads alternating as shown in the photo

 

 

Step 2

 

 

Gather the two sides and slide one crimp bead over both

Step 5

 

 

Pull one wire up enough to handle and thread back down through the crimp bead.  Your piece should look like the one in the photo at this point.

 

Here’s where you can adjust your length.

 

 

 

Step 6

 

 

Pull your loop wire down until you have a nice loop formed at the top.  Now take your crimp pliers and tighten the crimp bead.

Step 7

 

 

Clip excess wire with the flush cutter as close to the crimp bead as possible then add your crimp cover (if you have them) and earwire.

 

Repeat steps 1 through 7 for the second earring and your ready for the holiday parties!
