For some reason when I looked at the tulip beads I immediately thought long dangly earrings. I wanted them to be fringy but dainty, they turned out exactly how I wanted. Finished earring length is 4".

Supplies you’ll need:

You will need Czech glass tulip beads, 4mm & 3mm jump rings, 1ft of stainless steel chain, lever backs, 1/2 strand of lavender amethyst 3-3.5mm faceted rounds, 1/2 strand of 4mm amethyst faceted rondelle, 3mm heishis, eye pins, and head pins.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Cut 3 pieces of wire in each of these lengths: 2" - 1.75" - 1.5"
Do the same for the second earring.

Step

Step 2

Slide the tulip bead onto the eye pin and create a loop at the top. Make 2 of these.

Step

Step 3

Slide the amethyst beads onto the head pins and create a loop. Make 6 bead charms. 4 lavender amethyst charms and 2 amethyst charms.

Step

Step 4

Use the 3mm jump rings to attack the bead charms to the chain. Use the 4mm jump ring to attach the chain to the tulip.

Step

Step 5

Attach your ear wire. You can add beads to embellish the ear wire if you want.
