Create this design in your favorite green or crystal color of PRESTIGE crystal Margarita beads!
- To make this earring, place onto a head pin these beads in the following order: 4mm cube bead, 12mm Margarita bead, 10mm Margarita bead, 8mm Margarita bead, 6mm Margarita bead, and finally the 3mm bicone.
- After the last bead, create a simple wire loop and trim off excess wire.
- Open the loop you just made and connect it to one side of your snowflake link. Close the loop.
- Place a bicone onto the straight wire part of your earring hook. Create a loop underneath the bicone. Open the loop you just made and connect it to the top loop of your snowflake link. Close the loop.
- Make your matched earring. Happy holidays!
