Retired - A Midsummer's Night Dream Earrings

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.

1. Remember to double all these instructions to make your matched pair of earrings!
2. Take a 3 inch long head pin and thread onto it:
3. 1 Austrian crystal 4mm bicone in capri blue
4. 1 Antique brass diamond cut 4mm round bead
5. 1 lucite 10mm calla lily in matte amethyst (petals facing down towards the head of the pin)
6. 1 lucite 12mm calla lily in matte heliotrope purple
7. 1 Vintaj 7.5mm ornate scroll bead cap
8. 1 Austrian crystal 4mm bicone in capri blue
9. 1 cultured coin pearl in heliotrope purple
10. 1 Vintaj 16mm fancy filigree bead cap
11. 1 Austrian crystal 4mm bicone in capri blue
12. Once you have all your beads settled onto the head pin, create a wrapped wire loop above the last bead and cut off excess wire using flush cutters.
13. Hold your beaded strand, and using your fingers, gently press and mold the Vintaj 16mm filigree bead cap around the cultured coin pearl. You want to flatten the front and back of the bead cap so that it is flush with the flat sides of your pearl. See photo.
14. Take your fine french ear wire and open the loop at the bottom the same way you would open a jump ring. Connect to that open loop the beaded strand you made above, via the wrapped wire loop at top. Close the ear wire loop.
15. Enjoy!
