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 1 ½ 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.
Approximate length: 3 ½ inches Approximate cost for a pair: Under $10
