Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.

Start by cutting three lengths of wire about a foot each. Gather the ends of all three wires you just cut into one crimp cord end and crimp them together. Trim any ends of your wire that poked through the cord end.
On your first wire, place beads on in this order: 20 wisteria, 1 turquoise, 2 wisteria, 2 turquoise, 1 wisteria, 20 turquoise, 1 pink, 2 turquoise, 2 pink, 1 turquoise, 20 pink.
On your second wire, place beads on in this order: 25 wisteria, 1 turquoise, 2 wisteria, 2 turquoise, 1 wisteria, 25 turquoise, 1 pink, 2 turquoise, 2 pink, 1 turquoise, 25 pink.
On your third and last wire, place beads on in this order: 30 wisteria, 1 turquoise, 2 wisteria, 2 turquoise, 1 wisteria, 30 turquoise, 1 pink, 2 turquoise, 2 pink, 1 turquoise, 30 pink.
When you are done with all of your beads, put all three wires through a crimp cord end. Arrange your wires to create a three tier drop look and then crimp your cord end. Trim extra wire when completed.
Open up a jump ring and put on the loops from both of the cord ends and the earring wire. Close the jump ring.
