Hi, welcome to Fusion beads. I'm excited to share with you how to make the Firecracker Earrings.
Super cute design idea. I've got a few items here with me. I've got my Linstrom tools in the round nose,
chain nose and then I got a Tronex cutter.
And then my beads today are going to be the Swarovski crystal round 8mm in a Capri blue.
And then at a 6mm in the Light Siam. I've also got an Itsy Star Charm by Nunn Design,
an ear wire, one eye pin, and then two bead caps. And you're going to want to double this for the second earring.
And this is my finished project. You can go ahead and change out the colors to make it your own - make it unique.
Okay, let's get started.
First of all I'm going to go ahead and pick up my eye pin, and we're going to stack this
the opposite way. So I'm going to start with my Light Siam bead,
add a bead cap,
and then my Capri blue,
and then another bead cap.
See how that's stacked together there. Then I'm going to go ahead and cut.
Bend my wire to start my loop.
Using my round nose pliers, go ahead and make a big loop because we want to get that charm on there.
You can see how that looks there.
Then with my chain nose pliers, I'm going to open that loop up,
add my charm,
and close that loop right back up.
Okay, then on the other side,
using my ear wire,
I'm going to go ahead and open up the loop on this side of eye pin.
Attach the ear wire.
Close up the loop.
And there you have it.
