Earrings with Christmas motif made from seed beads

For many of you, Christmas would not be complete without a handmade present. We present a tutorial for earrings with Christmas motif. These are colorful and happy earrings thanks to the seed beads from the PRECIOSA PermaLux collection supplemented with gold, the traditional color of Christmas. Make them for yourself or give somebody the Christmas earrings just to make them happy or as a gift under the tree. We wish you a merry and colorful Christmastime.
