Instructions:
- Be sure to double all of the instructions to make both earrings, and remember, you may omit some beads to make the earrings smaller if you'd like. Onto one of the "arms" of the snowflake form, thread the following: a delica, a Swarovski drop, a rondelle spacer, a 5mm round, a 3mm fire polish, a margarita, a delica, and a bicone.
-
With your memory wire cutters. Trim the wire to about 3/8" above your last bead.
NOTE: Use ONLY the memory wire cutters, you will ruin any other cutters if you try to cut the snowflake form wire with them!
-
Using your wire looping pliers, create a simple loop at the end of the arm.
-
Repeat these steps for the other five arms.
-
Thread a crystal AB drop bead onto a headpin and make a simple loop. Trim off excess wire.
-
Open the wire loop on the AB drop and thread it through a loop on one of the snowflake wire form arms. Close the loop once again.
-
Open the loop on your earring hook and thread it through the loop on the arm directly opposite the arm with the drop bead.
Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
