Christmas Tree Earrings in Swarovski Crystals

Christmas is just around the corner...... so new in the Red Panda Beads store, Holiday Swarovski Crystal Earring Kits.  This blog post will provide detailed instructions to make these cute earrings!  Aside from the components included in the kit, you will need the following pliers:

Flat Nose Pliers
Round Nose Pliers
Side Cutter Pliers


Here are the finished earrings.


Here are the components for one earring.


Step 1.  Place square crystal on the head pin.


Step 2.  Place the 10mm crystals on the headpin.


Step 3.  Place the 8mm crystals on the headpin.


Step 4.  Place the 6mm crystal on the headpin.


Step 5.  Place the 4mm bicone crystal on the headpin.


Step 6.  Use flat nose pliers to grip the top section of the headpin.


Step 7.  Use the flat nose pliers to bend the headpin to a 90 degree angle.


Step 8.  Use side cutters to trim the excess headpin.


Here is how the trimmed head pin should look.


Step 9.  Use round nose pliers to begin a loop.


Step 10.  Before closing the loop, insert the ear wire.


 Step 11.  Close the loop to secure the ear wire.



Here is the completed earring.  Now just repeat all the steps for the 2nd earring and you'll have a complete set of Christmas Tree earrings in no time!

So you can see these cute earrings are really easy to assemble.  Look for these and other Holiday Earring Kits in the Red Panda Store in the coming days.  Here is the link for  the Christmas Tree Earrings Kit:
