Christmas Tree Earrings With Beads
These earrings are really simple to make, yet create the perfect addition to any Christmas outfit!
We have chosen our aventurine, carnelian, amethyst and sparkly disco beads to sit on the trees, but this design is very easily personalised and you could choose any bead that will fit on the wire.
We used 20cm length wire for each 4cm long earring, however if you want to make them smaller/bigger, feel free to adjust the wire length in your basket accordingly.
Step By Step Instructions
1. Cut two 20cm lengths of 0.8mm sterling silver wire.
2. Using a pair of round nose pliers make a loop at one end of the wire and attach the earwire onto this.
3. Next, using a pair of round nose pliers bend the wire into a zigzag - getting longer on each bend to form the tree shape - thread the beads onto the wire after each 'bend' alternating between the colours.
5. Lastly, to create the trunk just bend the wire halfway through your last parallel zigzag line and form a square. If there is any wire extra just cut this off with a pair of snips.
Your earrings are now complete!
