Clip-on earrings made from a mix of PRECIOSA beads

The succulence of the ruby tones of cherry juice, the sweetness of velvety late plums and the deliciousness and flavour of the rum tones of holiday beverages evoke a pleasant mood and a feeling of ease. These earrings in the trending colors of autumn 2021 and winter 2022 will always remind you of these excellent memories.

Tools

0.20 mm nylon line; a thin needle; scissors; needle-nosed pliers; flat-nosed pliers (closing the rings); snipping pliers (shortening the eye pins)

Step 6

Sew an R on to the outer holes on the screen next to the PB1. Thread the line through the hole by the RO from the rear. String 4x R. Thread the line through the adjacent hole between the PB1 from the face. Thread the line through the hole next to the 6MM from the rear. String 4x R. Thread the line through the hole between the PB1. Tie off the line. Shorten the ends so that they do not exceed the edge of the screen.

Step 7

Attach the earring clip to the screen. Glue it on or crimp the projections, for example using the points of the scissors (align the shank of the clip with the R).

Step 8

Create the second earring as a mirror image.

Step 9

Put a PB2 onto an eye pin. Shorten the protruding wire to about 1 cm. Grasp the wire between the points of the needle-nosed pliers and twist it around them. Open a ring. Place it on the shank of the clip. Attach the eye of the eye pin and close the ring.
