Create this design in your favorite green or crystal color of PRESTIGE crystal Margarita beads!
  1. To make this earring, place onto an eye 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.
  2. After the last bead, create a simple wire loop and trim off excess wire.
  3. Open the loop at the base of the earring hook and slip on the loop you made on top of your beads. Close the loop back up.
  4. Open the loop at the base of your tree and slip onto it a star charm. Close the loop.
  5. Make your second earring. Happy holidays! Enjoy!
