Have you been watching any of the award shows?  I was watching the Golden Globes when I noticed the slim earring designs here and there on the red carpet.  You can see a couple of them here.Do you like my faux fur vest? Haha!  It’s hilarious.  I get petted every time I wear it!  I don’t know why?!

After watching the Globes, I decided I could make some for myself.  Here we go…
Basic Materials:

Tierra Cast post earrings (or you can use good ol’ french ear wires)

Cup chain and 4 end findings from Jesse James Beads

Via Murano round crystal rings

Jump ring assortment

Beadalon wire cutters and chain nose pliers
First, determine how long you want the earrings and cut the cup chain to that length.
Attach the end findings to both ends of the cup chain.  It’s easy!  Set the last link of the cup chain in the finding and push the prongs over with chain nose pliers.
Open a jump ring from side to side.
Attach the ring…followed by the chain piece.  Close the ring so it’s secure.
Open a small jump ring….
 and attach to the post finding.  Seriously!  It’s that easy.
They are so pretty!  The best part is you can make them as long as you want!
Thanks for stopping by!
