These earrings are fun and easy to make. They feature beautiful Austrian crystals with a shimmer effect in a classic Christmas color palette of red, green, and silver. Easily adjust the design to make them as long or as short as you desire.
Reboot: We loved the color palette of this design so we have made no changes to the lovely holiday colors but we have changed some of the bead shapes for a more modern look, replacing the smaller round green beads with cube beads and the larger round red beads with briolette beads. We have also chosen a larger pear pendant to create a more dramatic sparkle for the holidays.

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.

Open a jump ring and link it to your pear pendant. Close the jump ring.
Onto an eye pin, place 1 4mm round erinite bead, 1 bead cap facing up, 1 round light siam bead, 1 bead cap facing down, and another round erinite bead. Create a simple wire loop after the last bead. Trim off excess wire. Make a total of two of these crystal links.
To assemble your earring, start at the bottom. Open a loop on one end of one of the crystal links you just made and connect it to the jump ring attached to the pear pendant. Close the loop back up. On the other end of this same crystal link, open that loop and connect it to the loop on one side of your second crystal link. Close the loop back up. Move to the other side of that second crystal link and attach the earring hook by opening the loop at the base of it. Close the loop.
All done! Enjoy!
