I’ve been utterly in love with my crystal heart charm bracelet lately and decided to make a matching pair of earrings.

It took next to no time.  Seriously, any beads that you like could be wire wrapped to make a super quick and easy pair of earrings.

Thinking about Christmas gifts?  You could be done before Halloween.  Ha, wouldn’t  that be great?

Happy creating!

Materials:

• two 7-inch lengths 22-gauge wire
• two ear wires
• two crystal heart charms
• round nose pliers
• chain nose pliers
• wire cutters

Instructions:

1. Slide a 7-inch wire through a heart charm leaving 1/2-inch sticking out one side.  Bend both wire ends up so they are parallel to each other and perpendicular to hole going through bead.  Bend both ends in towards each other until they cross.  Use chain nose pliers to bend both wires so they are parallel to each other again from crossing point on.  Use wire cutters to trim shorter wire to 1/8th-inch from bend.
2. Use chain nose pliers to grasp both wires just at point where shortest was trimmed.  Bend longer wire at 90° angle.  Grasp bend with round nose pliers and wrap wire around pliers as far as possible to start to make a loop.  Reposition pliers to finish loop.  Keep round nose pliers in loop and wrap remaining wire several times around wire above crystal heart charm.  Trim off excess wire and use chain nose pliers to tuck end in.  File wire end smooth if necessary.
3.  Open an ear wire and slip on loop of heart charm. Repeat for second earring.
