You’re the Star Earrings

I made these earrings for the Fourth of July, but you can use any crystal colors and change the look instantly! Sweet and simple — they just take a few minutes to whip up. Coordinate with a bracelet in the same colors for even more fun

Level: Easy

Materials

12″ 20g sterling silver wire
5mm Swarovski crystals (6)

Cut a length of 20g wire 6″ long. File or use a burr cup to round the ends so they are not sharp. Measure 1″ from one end, and make a bend (I just use my fingers) at about a 45 degree angle. Measure another 1″ from the bend, and repeat. Continue to measure 1″ lengths, bend the wire 45 degrees until you have made a star shape with a long wire at one end.

String a few red, clear and blue crystals on the wire. Create a tiny loop on the first end and use it to hold the longer end of the wire in place. Use your fingers or a pliers to create a rounded french wire earring shape.

Repeat for the second earring and you are done!
