Three Pairs of Christmas Earrings
I made fourteen identical sets of beads on gold-colored head pins and set to work experimenting with ways to make them into festive earrings. Here are the preliminary results. I think the single pendant doesn't work and will be changed eventually when inspiration strikes, but I like the triple pendant, and the chandelier set is especially nice.
Not nice enough to get my own ears pierced to wear them, mind you.
The glass beads are nothing special, just an assortment from Michael's. The gold-colored findings are from JoAnn Fabrics, I think. The gold beads were from Amazon.
On the chandelier earrings, I decided to experiment by replacing the small gold beads on the ear hooks with red glass bicone beads for more color. I used my round nose pliers to open up the eye, and then I straightened the wire enough to slip the bead on before re-forming the eye again. I think it turned out OK, but I'm not sure I want to make it a regular thing.
I vote for the chandelier ones! I already have my ears pierced, so I will take yours!

If you're serious, I'm willing to sell for SBD if you want to send me a PM on steem.chat.
Maybe I should finally get my ears pierced so I can wear some of these. No, I just chickened out.
