Evergreen Christmas Trees - finished length 5cm (2") |
To make the Evergreen Christmas Tree earrings, you'll need:
- 16 4mm emerald bicones
- silver daisy spacer bars in graduating sizes: 2 x 4x10mm (3-hole) ; 2 x 4x13.5mm (4-hole) ; and 2 x 4.5x20mm (6-hole)
- silver daisy spacer bars: 2x 4.5x17mm (5-hole)
- 2 silver engraved stars
- 2 silver eye pins
- 4 silver headpins
- 2 silver earring wires
- 2 earring stoppers
Gather your supplies. This is what you need to make one earring.
String the first hole of all the spacer bars on a headpin, graduating from largest to smallest and alternating with the bicones.
Bend the headpin at a 90° angle just above the last crystal.
Trim to 1cm (3/8").
Turn a simple loop.

Insert a headpin through the last hole of the spacer bars and add a crystal in between each layer on the other side of the tree.
String the earring stopper on an eye pin.
Trim it with the flush cutters....
.....until it is small enough to fit firmly inside the star bead.
String the star bead from the bottom....
....and then push the earring stopper inside the bead. Slide the star down to the loop of the eye pin. The stopper will help prevent the star from spinning around whilst you are wearing the earrings.
Bend the eye pin above the star at a 90° angle, trim it to 1cm (3/8") and turn a simple loop.
Open the bottom loop of the star and hook on the two headpins from the Christmas tree.
Hook the tree onto the earring wire and close the loop.
Make a matching earring with the remaining components.
How easy was that? Now you have a festive pair of Christmas tree earrings to wear to your next holiday gathering.
