I am joining my crafty friends to create patriotic crafts this month so I decided to make some festive red, white and blue bead earrings! The good thing is that they are cute enough that they can be worn anytime of the year. These were super easy to make and you could do any combination of colors but this Creative Crafts is the Patriotic Edition!
Materials used:
- Beads of red, white and blue. (They can be any type of beads.)
- Head Pins (6)
- Jump Rings (2)
- Fish Hook Findings (2)
- Jewelry Making Tools (I used Needle Nose Pliers, Round Nose Pliers)
How I made them:
First, I started by separating my beads and placing them on the head pins in the order that I wanted them.
Using my round nose pliers, I created a loop.
Using my needle nose pliers, I wrapped the remaining wire around the head pin so that it would be secure.
I made four the the head pins about the same size and two of them I left longer so that they would hang at a different length.
With my needle nose pliers, I opened the jump ring and placed the head pins and the fish hook. Using two sets of needle nose pliers, I closed the jump ring.
I love how they turned out and they will be super cute to wear on the 4th of July!
