Crystal Tree Earrings Tutorial

Designer Tips

Add a smoky quartz cube bead to the head pin, then add the largest fern green margarita bead, then 1 each of the rest of the margarita beads in decreasing size order, and top with the metallic sunshine 3mm bicone bead.
Make a simple loop at the top of the head pin. For best ways to make loops on head pins, see Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF)
Open the loop on the ear wire (twist side-ways, like shown in the Jewelry Basics 101 PDF), slide Christmas tree on, and securely close ear wire loop.
Repeat for other earring, and enjoy!
