Autumn Cluster Ear Threads Instructions
Designed by Cynthia Kimura

Ear threads are the popular trend. Make these adorable earrings for fall.

Step one: Begin with a sterling silver U top ear thread with a closed jump ring. Using a 1½ inch, 22 gauge head pin, string a 6mm Swarovski faceted bicone in topaz onto the pin and attach it to the loop at the bottom of the ear thread with a wrapped loop. For step by step instructions on how to make a wrapped loop please visit the Handy Tips section of the Learning Center.

Step two: Make two more dangles using the head pins and 5mm Swarovski khaki bicone beads. Attach with wrapped loops so that the topaz bead is in the center.

Step three: Repeat steps one and two to make the second earring.
