I Made It Mondays: DIY Wedding Earrings by Wedding Chicks


Happy Monday my dear friends!  How was your weekend?  I spent mine making homemade thank you cards and snuggling with my hubby over a movie.  It was nice.  Saw this super cute DIY project I found on Wedding Chicks and had to share it with you.  This would be a perfect wedding gift for yourself or your bridesmaids.
 


WHAT YOU NEED:
1. Jewelry pliers & wire cutters
2. 6 head-pins
3. 2 small pearls; 2 large pearls
4. 2 bicone crystals
5. Pair of Sterling silver earring wires

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  String large pearl onto head-pin.


2. Fold head-pin over pearl.  Pull wire back the other direction and use plier nose to make a small loop.  Take excess wire and wrap several times creating a twisting effect tight to bead.



3. Wrap, twist and clip one end of crystal.  Leave other end open to string on large pearl.  String large pearl and bi-cone crystal.  Wrap, twist and clip wire from open end of bi-cone crystal.  Repeat for small pearl.


4. Wrap, twist and clip one end of crystal.  Leave other end open to string on large pearl.  String large pearl and bi-cone crystal.  Wrap, twist and clip wire from open end of bi-cone crystal.  Repeat for small pearl.

5. That's it!  Your very own pair of pearl and crystal earrings.
