Purple is my favorite color so when I found these ombre beads at AC Moore I couldn’t wait to get home and make something out of them.
All you need to make your own ombre earrings are:
22 teardrop beads in 3 – 4 different colors
chain
jump rings
earring hooks
round nose pliers
headpins or wire
Step 1: Add jump rings to each bead. Use headpins to create loops on larger beads.
Step 2: Separate your chain so you have two pieces with 5 links.
Step 3: Add earring hooks to one end of the chain
Step 4: Add two light beads to the first link of the chain right under the earring hook. Add two more light beads to the second link.
Step 5: Continue adding two beads to each link until you have your desired length. Then add the darkest bead to the last link (you will have 3 beads on the last link).
Step 6: Put on your new earrings and admire yourself in the mirror (because that is what you will want to do).
I’m just learning how to make jewelry, but I love purple and I love what you did with these earrings. Simply lovely!

I would love to learn how to make jewellery, but I worry that my patience (or lack thereof) would get the best of me. Thank you for the tutorial. I feel as though I could actually give it a go! 🙂
Oh my. I bought earring things at hobby lobby the other day. I don’t make jewelry…it’s you! Your fault! I don’t have any beads though. I was going to hang weird stuff like soda tabs…the little girls would like it. If hubby has to build me a jewelry room he’s gonna be mad! No more jewelry DIY!!! I can’t afford another habit…
Super cute Kara:)
Really cute, Kara! I am loving the grapevine-style earrings this season!

These are awesome Kara! I love making jewelry! I feel so accomplished and proud when someone tells me they love my piece and I get to tell them I made it! 🙂 It’s the little things right?
I like to make jewelry, but I am not that great at it! I took a class one time that was really fun!

So much so that I’ve started a business with my Awareness Jewelry line. I started it because my fiance suffers from a debilitating disease called Gastroparesis.
I have so much jewelry making stuff in my closets…I should pull some out and see if I can recreate these with all the beads in there! I love the ombre effect!!!
These are BEAUTIFUL! I love purple too… ok have to enter the giveaway! Pick me, pick me! 😉

I like to get jewelry and fix it up so it is more my style. Usually I get cheap stuff for $1 or $2 and then take the feathers or crazy things off them to make them more my style.
Now, I have some time to enter your raffle. I love making jewelry, actually. particularly earrings. I seem to just ‘crank them out’. fast and easy. You did great with these ones. They are beautiful. Very designerish!~ btw i have a raffle on our blog for a designerish necklace…., it’s beautiful and contemporary: made with crochet and real coral…
Hi there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no back
up. Do you have any methods to stop hackers?
Excellent blog post. I certainly love this site.
Stick with it!
Howdy! This post couldn’t be written much better!
Going through this post reminds me of my previous
roommate! He always kept talking about this. I most certainly will send this article to him.
Pretty sure he’ll have a very good read. Many thanks for
sharing!
I love the color v much! This pair of ombre are really special and pretty! I’d like to know what’s the material of the teardop beads. Is it glass bead or plastic beads?
