These Fall-inspired earrings will have you hankering for pumpkin pie, cinnamon sticks, and a warm blanket on a cool evening. A sweet copper colored bird dangles from a vibrant olivine green glass bead which is then capped off with an acorn bead cap.

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.

Make sure to double these instructions to make your matched pair of earrings!

Snip the head off of the head pin.
Create a simple wire loop on one end of the "head pin" from the previous step. Onto this wire slip 1 Czech fire-polished 12mm round bead in olivine and 1 Vintaj artisan copper acorn bead cap. Create another simple wire loop after the bead cap and snip off excess wire with flush cutters.
Open the simple wire loop beneath the bead and slip the loop at the top of your Vintaj artisan copper bird charm into the loop. Close the loop back up, just like a jump ring.
Open the loop at the base of your earring hook and connect it to the loop at the top of the acorn bead cap. Close the loop.
Happy Fall!
