Ice Cream Social Earrings (Reboot)

PROJECT E1021
Designer: Megan Milliken
Skill Level: Beginner
These adorable little earrings feature tiny enameled ice cream cones with little Austrian crystal accents for a pop of color. Show off your inner child this summer or all year-round.
Reboot: Please note that we have made slight changes to the colors of the bicone beads in this pair of earrings. They still match the sprinkles on the ice cream cone but are different than those 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.

Don't forget to double these instructions to create your matched pair of earrings.
  1. Place a 3mm Austrian crystal crystal bicone bead in caribbean blue opal onto a silver plated 1.5", 22 gauge head pin. Use a pair of wire looping pliers to create a simple loop after the bead, trimming off the excess. Repeat with another bead in caribbean blue opal, then with two in citrine, and then with two in rose, to make a total of 6 little beaded drops.
  2. Open a silver plated 7mm, 20 gauge jump ring. Place three of your crystal drops onto the ring, then place a silver plated and enamel ice cream cone charm onto the ring, then the other three crystal drops, then a silver plated stud earring ball post, and close the jump ring.
  3. Place a silver plated earring back onto the back of the earring post.
