Crystal Ear Thread Earrings

I’ve been seeing ear threads around for quite some time but never really paid much attention to them until I got a couple pairs for myself. Now, I’m in love. 🙂

I just love how simple they are to make and to wear. The way they work forces you to keep the design simple and yet they can still have a lot of swing and dangle.

If you want to learn a bit more about ear threads check out my Friday Findings video on the topic.

Another thing I love about ear threads is that you can change out the beads so easily you can customize a pair very quickly to match any outfit.

Enjoy the video and happy creating!

  1. Some day I want to see your bead stash. You must have thousands. This is a beautiful combination–almost antique, which I love.

    1. Gosh, I’ve never counted them… don’t give me any ideas.

      I’m planning to do a craft room tour some time soon. I’m just waiting on hubby to paint my cabinet doors.

      After building the bookcases it took a year to get him to build the doors. I may have to offer/threaten to paint them myself. That’ll spur him to action. 😀
