| Metal Snowflakes - finished length 6cm (2 3/8") |
Here's what you'll need to make these earrings:
- 2 50mm copper filigree snowflakes
- 2 50mm gunmetal filigree snowflakes
- 2 gold filigree 8-petal daisies
- 2 33mm silver rings
- 14 clear SS6 flatback Swarovski crystals
- 2 6mm gunmetal jump rings
- 2 4mm gunmetal jump rings
- 2 gunmetal earring wires
- G-S Hypo Cement
- Beacon Quick Grip Adhesive
Tools: chain nose pliers, toothpick, Embellie Gellie (or other tool for placing crystals)
Centre the ring on the gunmetal snowflake and press each of the arms of the snowflake upwards to cup the ring.
Make sure the ring is still centred and then flatten each of the arms.
Use the back of the pliers to press the filigree against the outside of the ring.
Attach the 6mm jump ring to the silver ring and close it.
Apply GS-Hypo Cement to the centre of the gold filigree.
Position a cryatal in the centre of the filigree and six crystals around it. Press them firmly into position.
Use the toothpick to apply Quick Grip to the folded over arms of the gunmetal filigree.
Align the gunmetal filigree with the copper snowflake and press them together firmly. Apply adhesive to the back of the gold filigree and position it over the centre of the gunmetal snowflake.
Connect the 6mm jump ring to the earring wire with a 4mm jump ring.
Use the remaining components to make a matching earring.
