Description

There is nothing like a pair of sparkly, dangly earrings to finish off an outfit and these are super easy to make.

Instructions

1. 

   Take one of the 15cm lengths of beading wire (I'm using Beadalon 7 strand in Bright) and thread on 7 spacer beads, one of the crystal drops (I’m using Swarovski 13x6.5mm drops in Crystal) and another 7 spacer beads.

2. 

   Bring the two ends of wire together and thread both through another spacer bead to form a loop.

3. 

   Thread on a necklace end and a crimp, loosely grip the crimp in your chainnose pliers, slide it down as far as it will go and firmly squash it flat. Cut off the remaining beading wire and close the two halves of the necklace to cover the crimp.

4. 

   Take the open hook on the necklace end, thread on the loop at the base of the fishhook and close. Repeat to make the second earring.
