The first time I looked at the Czech hearts I immediately saw them as cherries. These kitsch earrings are easy to make with just a few components.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • Czech glass matte ruby red hearts -Czech glass leaves
  • 2-3" copper head pins or in your favorite finish
  • round nose pliers or looper tool
  • copper wire 24 gauge
  • hinged ear wires

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Slide a heart onto the head pin. Create a loop at the top using pliers or a looper tool.

Step

Step 2

Cut a 5" piece of wire. Slide it through a leaf. Twist the wires together to center them at the top of the leaf. You can trim one wire tail off or keep both. Use plier to create a loop and wrap the wire around the base of the loop. Trim any excess wire.

Step

Step 3

Take a tube of seed beads, marker or the top of a nail polish bottle and slightly bend the head pin with the heart on it over the tube. This will give a natural curve to your cherry stem.

Step

Step 4

Open the ear wire loop attach the leaf then the cherry head pin. Close the loop.
