Golden Teardrops Earrings Pattern

Materials

Step One - Create Drops

Loop Directions

Make a 90° bend in headpin at desired length above beads. Using round nose pliers (or any pliers you have) hold the wire near the angle and bend the wire around the pliers to make a loop. Wrap wire down around head pin or eye pin creating as many coils as you can. Trim any extra.

Pink Teardrop Drop (2) – Add 1 Pink 13x9mm Teardrop large side first to a headpin. Then add 1 GP Scallop bead cap and 1 Clear 6mm Crystal bicone. Approximately 1/8th inch above the bicone make a loop using the loop directions above. Repeat 1 time.

Turquoise Drop (4) – Add 1 Turquoise Czech Fire-Polished bead to a headpin. Approximately 1/8th inch above the bead make a loop using the loop directions above. Repeat 3 times.
