Snowmen Earrings in Swarovski

Now that Fall is finally here and the weather is starting to cool off, it's time to begin thinking about the holidays.  My favorite part of the holidays, of course, involves beading!  This tutorial blog will show, step by step how to make Swarovski Crystal Snowman Earrings.


Here is the finished pair of earrings.

In addition to the crystals and other components, you will also need these tools:


Flat Nose Pliers

Round Nose Pliers

Side Cutter Pliers





Each kit includes:

2 ~ 10mm Swarovski Round Crystals
2 ~ 8mm Swarovski Round Crystals
2 ~ 8mm Rhinestone Rhondells
2 ~ 8mm Swarovski Jet Margaritas
2 ~ 4mm Swarovski Jet Cubes
2 ~ Sterling Silver (or gold filled) 1.5 inch Headpins
2 ~ Sterling Silver (or gold filled) Ear Wires

Step One


Place one 10mm crystal on a headpin - this is the snowman's bottom.

Step Two


Place an 8mm Rhondell on the head pin next - this is the snowman's scarf.

Step Three


 Place an 8mm Crystal on the headpin, this is the snowman's head.

Step Four



Add an 8mm Margarita - this is the bottom of the snowman's top hat.

Step Five


Add a 4mm Jet Cube, this is the top of the snowman's top hat.

Step Six


Using Flat Nose Pliers, prepare the headpin excess to be trimmed.

Step Seven


Trim the excess with Side Cutter Pliers

Step Eight


Using Flat Nose pliers, bend the top portion of the head pin 90 degrees

Step Nine


This is what it should look like now...

Step Ten


Using Round Nose Pliers, begin to roll the end of the headpin, before you close the loop, add the ear wire.

Step Eleven


You've finished one earring, repeat all these steps for the second one, and before you know it you will have a pair of earrings!


Happy Beading!
