These adorable earrings feature a sweet teddy bear bead by TierraCast with its arms stretched out, ready to give a hug. On either side of the bear are lovely PRESTIGE crystal beads in a rosy pink color.
Reboot: We have rebooted this project using PRESTIGE crystal bicone beads instead of the beads pictured.

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.

You can use either round nose pliers or wire looping pliers to make your simple wire loops for this project.

Onto your head pin, please place the following beads: 1 large bicone bead, 1 teddy bear bead, 1 small bicone bead.
After the last bead, create a simple wire loop. Trim off excess wire.
Open the loop at the base of your earring hook, the same way you would open a jump ring, and link onto it the loop of the bead segment you just made. Close the loop.
Repeat steps 1 - 3 to make your matching earring. Hugs!
