Then you need some QUICK AND EASY earrings to make - a garland of festive lights to dangle from your ears.
Here's what you'll need to make these:
Wrap the short tail twice around the neck just created on the long wire.
Trim away the excess wire on the short tail.
Create a loop with the round nose pliers just above the coil.
Wrap the wire down around the neck and over the wraps made with the short wire.
Continue wrapping the wire around the bead until you cover the holes. Pass the wire diagonally across the wrapping on the bead and then twice around the neck wraps to secure it.
Trim the excess wire. Create two more 6x4mm wrapped beads and one 8x4mm wrapped bead.
Open a jump ring and attach two curved connectors (string the outward curve first) and then one of the small wrapped teardrops so that it sits on the inside curve. Add a third connector and a teardrop. Attach the third teardrop to the top connector with a jump ring.
Add the large teardrop to the bottom connector with a jump ring.
Now attach the top jump ring to the earring wire and then create a second earring to match.
