Patriotic Drops Earrings Tutorial
Created by: Amy Scalise
Designer Tips
- Use the 1-Step Looper to create 36 (12 of each color) crystal pearl dangles.
- Cut two 1" pieces of chain and attach approximately 2 dangles per link directly onto the chain. Do not attach any dangles to the last links of the chain.
- Use 10mm jump rings to attach the crystal star pendants to the last chain link, and attach the hammertone links to the third link from the bottom.
- Create two connectors with the bicones. Attach the earwires to one end, and the chain to the other.
