Turquoise Ornament Earrings - Twelve Days of Christmas - Day 3

Day 3 and it's time to stop decorating the tree and make a pair of ornament earrings to dress up your Christmas fashions.

These elaborate looking earrings are really quick and easy to make and show you how classy an acrylic snowflake bead can look when it's combined with the right elements. These could easily be worn throughout the year and are perfect for any Frozen lovers.

Here's what you'll need:

• 2 x 4mm Light Turquoise Swarovski crystal bicone
• 2 turquoise centre-drilled teardrop crystals
• 2 x 6mm Silver AB Crystal Rondelle Spacer Bead
• 4 x 11mm silver flower-shaped bead caps
• 2 silver plastic starflake beads
• 2 x silver 7mm cones
• 2 silver seed beads
• 2 silver eye pins
• 2 silver head pins
• 2 silver ball tipped earring wires
• tools: round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, flush cutters

Thread the beads and findings on the eye pin in the order laid out above. Turn a simple loop with the round nose pliers.

Thread the teardrop crystal on the head pin and turn a simple loop. Attach it to the cone end of the first component.

Slide the loop at the top of the component onto the interchangeable earring wire and gently squeeze it closed. Make a second earring in the same way.

Join me again later in the week for Day 4's Christmas earrings.

'Til next time.....
