Oh Christmas Tree Earrings



Yet another great design from our friends at TierraCast!  This "Christmas Tree" is made of bells and accented with crystal!  Simple & easy to make ~ just stack, make a loop & hang from your favorite earring!  Use traditional colors for your crystal beads or create your own combination!

Here's the supply list:

Item	Quantity
Earwire with Loop and 2mm Bead	1 pair
2" 21 gauge headpin	2
9mm Spirit Bead	2
5x8mm Small Bell Flower Cone	2
6x9mm Medium Bell Flower Cone	2
8x12mm Large Bell Flower Cone	2
4mm Swarovski Crystal Bicone ~ Crystal	2
4mm Swarovski Crystal Bicone ~ Red	2
4mm Swarovski Crystal Cube ~ Green	2

Notes on this design:

• The strength of a 21 gauge headpin is needed.  A 2" 24 gauge headpin is not sturdy enough nor is it long enough to both accommodate the length of the earring plus the wrap required if using 24 gauge.
  
• The 4mm Crystal bicone is used above the cube so that the cube is positioned correctly, otherwise it tucks up under the bell.  2mm & 3mm round beads were tried for this purpose without success, the bottom bell tended to wobble with the round bead.
