I found these gorgeous beads at Michael’s last week and fell in love with them immediately, so I did what every crafty gal does – I made some earrings!

You can’t go wrong with these earrings.  They are easy to make and you will love them.

Materials needed:

  • 2 headpins
  • 2 earring hooks
  • 2 beads
  • 2 hammered rings – mine came from links of a chain
  • Wire cutters
  • Round nose pliers
    Step 1:  Thread a bead onto your head pin and make a 90 degree bend just above your bead.  Use wire cutters to cut the wire, leaving about 1/3 of an inch.  Use your round nose pliers to create a loop.
    Step 2:  Use your pliers to gently open your earring hooks and the loop you just made.  Make sure you open the loops side to side (here is a great tutorial if I’ve confused you). 
    Step 3:  Attach your rings to each loop.   Close each loop and admire you fabulous new earrings!!
     
    Don’t you just love wearing new earrings?  I can’t wait to wear them and I’m pretty sure they coordinate perfectly with all my summer outfits:)
    Now I’m in the mood for a giveaway!!  
    I’m giving away a pair of earrings to TWO lucky winners.

    5. Happy Saturday! LOVE the earrings! I want to make a pair of earrings like these oneday!

    6. For work I tend to wear the same pair, but I am now trying to get out of this habit and try new jewelry!

    7. These earrings are so cute. I wear a different pair every day. Either I wear a pair that goes with all the other jewelry I have on or a pair that distinctly goes with my clothes. I love jewelry!

    8. I don’t wear earrings that often but am getting back into them. (I feel so much more feminine and sexy 🙂 when I do) I don’t have many so I do wear the same ones for a while.

      These are SOOOOO CUTE!!! I love the colors!

      Thanks for the chance!

    11. I usually wear the same pair of earrings daily but enjoy changing it up when we go out!
