What You'll Need
|
Instructions:
- Remember to repeat all of the instructions to make both earrings. To create the fringe, cut two pieces of waxed K.O. thread at about six inches long each. Thread them both through the 20mm Quick Link and gather the ends together, so that the Quick Link is directly in the center.
-
Thread all four ends through a crimp tube, push the tube all the way up to the jump ring, and crimp it.
-
With a sharp pair of scissors, cut off one of the four threads, leaving three pieces of equal length.
-
Onto each piece of thread, add ten seed beads, a 3mm Swarovski bicone, a single seed bead, a Keishi pearl, and another single seed bead.
-
Finish each strand with a crimp bead (crimped) and gently close a crimp bead cover over each. To ensure the crimps will stay on the strands, you can dab a tiny amount of E6000 adhesive onto the end of each. Allow to dry for twenty four hours.
-
Trim off excess thread with a sharp pair of scissors.
-
Add an oval jump ring to the loop on the earring hook.
-
Use a 5mm round jump ring to connect the Quick Link to the oval jump ring.
-
Onto a headpin, thread a seed bead, a pearl, and another seed beads. Create a wrapped wire loop, and trim off excess wire.
-
Add the wrapped loop to the 5mm round jump ring and close the jump ring once more.
