Love is .. Handmade Earrings

Love is… a pair of handmade crystal angel earrings for a girlfriend.

Materials

2 long metal pins with eye

3 small pastel-colored glass crystals or other beads.

2 angel charms

2 earring findings

Step-by-step

How to Make Angel Earrings

1. Open the loops at the ends of the pins a tiny bit to attach the angel charms and then close them again.

2. String the three crystals onto the pins and make a loop on the end using round-nosed jewelry pliers. If your pins are too long, you may have to use a pair of cutting jewelry pliers to trim a bit off before making the loop.

3. With same round-nosed jewelry pliers, open each earring finding a tiny bit so that a string of beads can be attached to each finding.  Close the finding again and you’re done.

 

Time Required

I spent 7 minutes making these earrings.

What took more time was to look through my large bead collection to find the beads I liked and dig out my jewelry making tools.

This pair is a Valentine’s Gift for a Girlfriend.
