Wild Berry Earrings

Create beautiful heart earrings to wear for any occasion.

Materials:

• 2 - Heart three ring ear post findings
• 10 - 4mm Red aventurine semi-precious gemstone beads
• 10 - 4mm Red smooth round color-coated glass beads
• 10 - 6mm Red bicone faceted glass beads
• 30 - 1 in. (2.54cm) Head pins, white plating
• 6 - 4mm Small jump rings, silver plated
• Designer Ergo round nose pliers
• Designer Ergo cutter

Steps:

1. String each bead onto a head pin. Make a wrapped loop above the bead. Make a total of 30 dangles; set aside.
    
2. Create six groups of 5 dangles, mixing and matching the colors and shapes. Each ring of the heart ear post finding will hold two dangle groups. Plan it out so that the earrings look balanced.
    
3. Open a jump ring. String a group 5 assorted dangles onto the jump ring. Attach the jump ring to one ring of the ear post. Onto a second opened jump ring, string a second group of 5 assorted dangles. Attach the jump ring onto the same ring of the ear post.
    
4. Repeat step 3 until each jump ring holds 5 dangles, and each ring of the heart ear post finding holds two jump rings.
