DIY Christmas Earrings - O Come, All Ye Faithful

Inspired by the timeless Christmas carol "O Come, All Ye Faithful," I created a pair of earrings called "Faith." These earrings capture the essence of the song's message and are perfect for the holiday season. Making religious-themed earrings is a wonderful way to express your faith and add a touch of spirituality to your holiday celebrations.

 
The unexpected square shape of these earrings make them rather striking and yet they are quite a simple pair of earrings that you could wear at any time of the year. Change up the colour of the beads and they would be suitable for a  number of different religious occasions. Or perhaps you could use beads in your birthstone colour. Or you could just use whatever colour beads take your fancy!

To make these, you'll need:
4 x dark red oval faceted beads
2 x silver "faith" plaque connectors
2 x silver Y-shaped connectors (Etsy) 
2 x ball end earring wires
4 x silver eye pins
8 x silver 4mm jump rings

You'll also need these tools:

• chain nose pliers
• flat nose pliers
• round nose pliers
• flush cutters

Thread a bead onto an eye pin and turn a loop. If you're new to turning loops, learn how to make perfect loops here. Make another component the same.

Attach the beaded components to the "faith" plaque with jump rings. Connect the other ends to the Y-shaped connector with jump rings.

Hook the connector to the ball end earring wire and gently close it.

Create a second earring and now you can proclaim your faith to the world. 

If "faith" isn't the word you want to proclaim, search out some of these other great word charms to get your message across.
