I kinda love the look of the chain tassels in these earrings.
Don’t they dress up the beads wonderfully?
The key, as I mention in the video, is to make the wire loops large enough to accommodate all the chains.
I can totally see these in just about any color, but I’m liking the white and gold look.
Happy creating!
Materials:
- two ear wires
- two eye pins
- two glass beads
- two small spacer beads
- ten 1-inch pieces of chain (12-13 links per inch)
- round nose pliers
- chain nose pliers
- wire cutters
Instructions:
- Slide spacer bead onto eye pin; then slide on glass bead. Use round nose and chain nose pliers to make the beginning of a loop. (Make loop slightly larger than normal, about 3/8-inch from tips of round nose pliers.)
- Slide end link of each of five 1-inch lengths of chain onto loop. Close loop and make one or two wraps. Cut off excess wire, tucking in end with pliers as necessary.
- Open eye of ear wire and slide on top loop of eye pin. Close ear wire. Repeat for second earring.
Oh, aren’t those sweet! But I thought that somebody was going to start modeling them! 😉
