Charm a special teacher in your life with these cheerful enameled apple earrings. Swarovski Crystal bicone accents add a touch of sparkle.

Instructions

By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.

Begin by using pliers to open the loop of an eye pin, and slide on the loop of one apple charm. Close the eye pin.
Onto the eye pin, slide one 6mm Swarovski Crystal bicone bead. Above the bead, make a simple wire loop.
Use pliers to open the loop of your earring hook the same way you would open a jump ring, and slide on the simple wire loop you just made. Close the loop of the earring hook. All done!
