Christmas Tree Earrings











Are you looking for a unique Christmas gift to give to a friend, co-worker or family member? Check out these really cute vintage X-mass tree earrings that I designed. The earrings are available for purchase in my Etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/ElliesBijoux or if you are really crafty, I have listed the supplies needed and instructions below. Happy Beading!
Supplies - 8 green, 4 red or 4 green, 4 red, and 4 white 4X6 Lucite Flower Beads depending on which pair. 2 red Swarovski bicone beads and 1 clear Crystal or black Swarovski cube bead. The Lucite flowers and Swarovski crystals are available at www.bellomodo.com. I used Vintaj Natural Brass findings so I could achieve that vintage look that I so love! Vintaj products can be purchased at Hobby Lobby or AC Moore. I used 2 eye pins, 2 head pins and 2 ear wires. You will also need Bead Stringing Glue which is available at (www.beadalon.com) or any local craft store. This will help secure the Lucite beads in place.
Instructions:
Take one head pin and add 1 Swarovski cube bead, make simple loop, and attach to eye pin. Now take the eye pin and add a dab of glue at base, string 1 Lucite bead. Keep repeating until you have strung 6 Lucite beads. Finally, add 1 Swarovski bicone bead at top and make wrapped loop. Attach to ear wire. Repeat steps for second tree.

Yours truly,
Suzette
