Scroll down to find everything you need to make this fabulous design
You will need the following:
2 x Earwires
2 x Headpins
2 x Swarovski 14mm Baroque Beads in Golden Shadow
2 x 4mm Light Siam Shimmer Swarovski Xillion Bicones
4 x 3mm Light Siam Swarovski Xillion Bicones
2 x 3mm Astral Pink Swarovski Xillion Bicones
4 x 4mm Rosaline Crystal Gold Swarovski Xillion Bicones
2 x 4mm Crystal Rondelles
0.5mm Vivid Red Wire
Tools: Round Nose Pliers, Side Cutters, Chain Nose Pliers
Instructions:
- Cut two 20cm lengths of vivid red wire.
- Take one length of wire and use your round nose pliers to make a loop in the centre of the wire – you’ll thread this loop onto your headpin later on.
- Now thread on a 4mm Rosaline Crystal Gold Xillion until it is approx 2cm down the length of wire, fold the wire back over the crystal and put in a few twists to hold the crystal in place.
- Add on a 3mm Light Siam Crystal and fold the wire back on itself and put in a few more twists.
- Twist the wire together and then thread on a 3mm Astral Pink Crystal and once again fold the wire back on itself and put in a few more twists.
- Twist the wire together a few times and add on a final Rosaline Crystal Gold Xillion and once again fold the wire back on itself and put in a few more twists.
- Twist the wire together until it reaches the loop you created in step 2.
- Repeat steps 3-7 for the other side of the antler.
- Now arrange your wire and crystals so that they look like antlers. Trim off any excess wire.
- Thread a 4mm Siam Shimmer Xillion onto the headpin followed by a Baroque bead, the antlers and a 4mm Crystal Rondelle.
- Make a loop at the top of the headpin and trim off any excess wire. Add your finished earring to an earwire.
- Repeat steps 2-11 for the other earring.
