How to Make Christmas Tree Earrings

I’ve been seeing these earrings all over Pinterest for the last couple of years so this year I decided to make a pair of my own.  They are super cute and really easy and will be ready in minutes.

Materials

Here’s what you will need make these earrings:

• 6x4mm Bronze Glass Rectangle x2‍
• 10mm Emerald Swarovski Crystal Flowers x2
• 8mm Emerald Swarovski Crystal Flowers x2 
• 6mm Emerald Swarovski Crystal Flowers x2
• 3mm Teal Crystal Glass Bicone x2
• ‍4.5mm Gold Star Bead x2‍
• Gold Earwires x2
• Gold Headpins x2

The Swarovski Crystals were quite hard to find so I’ve put together a kit for these earrings for you.

Tools

• Chain nose pliers
• Flush cutters
• Round nose pliers

Instructions

Watch the video or read the instructions below.

Threading the Beads

Onto the headpin thread the beads in the following order:

• 6x4mm Bronze Glass Rectangle
• 10mm Emerald Swarovski Crystal Flower
• 8mm Emerald Swarovski Crystal Flower
• 6mm Emerald Swarovski Crystal Flower
• 3mm Teal Crystal Glass Bicone
• 4.5mm Gold Star Bead                    

Make a Loop

Using the chain nose pliers, make a right angle bend about 2mm from the top of the star bead.

Trim the wire to approximately 1cm from the bend.

Using the round nose pliers, make a loop in the wire.  If you have never made a loop before, watch this video.

Add the Earwire

Open the inside loop of the ear hook – the side that faces the end.  

Place the earring component onto the loop and close the loop.

Repeat for the other earring.

I really hope you enjoyed this quick tutorial and that you can whip up a pair of these before Christmas.
