These Austrian crystal-laden snowflake earrings glitter and sparkle just like the real thing! Our version is extra large at 2 3/4', but you can make them any size with any combination of crystals you'd like.

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.

Be sure to double all of the instructions to make both earrings, and remember, you may omit some beads to make the earrings smaller if you'd like. Onto one of the "arms" of the snowflake form, thread the following: a delica, an Austrian crystal drop, a rondelle spacer, a 5mm round, a 3mm fire polish, a margarita, a delica, and a bicone. With your memory wire cutters. Trim the wire to about 3/8" above your last bead.NOTE: Use ONLY the memory wire cutters, you will ruin any other cutters if you try to cut the snowflake form wire with them!

Using your wire looping pliers, create a simple loop at the end of the arm.

Repeat these steps for the other five arms.

Thread a crystal AB drop bead onto a headpin and make a simple loop. Trim off excess wire.

Open the wire loop on the AB drop and thread it through a loop on one of the snowflake wire form arms. Close the loop once again.

Open the loop on your earring hook and thread it through the loop on the arm directly opposite the arm with the drop bead.
