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:

  1. 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.)
  2. 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.
  3. Open eye of ear wire and slide on top loop of eye pin. Close ear wire. Repeat for second earring.
