These earrings are super quick & easy to put together-making them perfect for gift giving! I love the colors of this new recycled glass along with the little pop of pick- a great pick-me-up for the winter months!

Supplies you’ll need:

Gold 24 gauge wire, ear wires, 6mm jump rings, pink rhodochrosite chips, gold wire frame drops, African recycled glass tumbled rounds.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Slide a recycled glass round onto an 8" piece of 24 gauge wire.

Step

Step 2

Bend the wire upwards around the top of the bead. Use round nose pliers to gently twist the wire a couple of times.

Step

Step 3

Slide a rhodochrosite chip onto the wire.

Step

Step 4

Separate the two pieces of wire.

Step

Step 5

Slide another recycled glass bead onto one the left strand of wire. Push the right strand through the bead, so both wire strands are pointing in the opposite direction.

Step

Step 6

Gently pull both pieces of wire until the bead is right on top of the rhodochrosite chip.

Step

Step 7

Using round nose pliers, twist the strands wire together.

Step

Step 8

Use the round nose pliers to make a loop at the top. Trim off the excess wire.

Step
