Hi this is Megan with Beadaholique.com and I'm going to show you
how to make the rockefeller christmas tree earring from the rockefeller
christmas tree earring kit
and this is the earring we're going to make
it's made with all swarovski elements crystal beads
so it's a really pretty sparkly
and festive holiday statement
what you're going to receive in your kit are two
gold plated head pins
two gold plated earring hooks and then all of your crystal beads. So you're going to
have five sizes
of the margarita bead which is this pretty flat flower shaped bead
and you have two each of the sizes
and then you're going to have your cube beads for the trunk and your bicone beads
four
the little top
I'll show you how to
make this what you're going to do here is, if noticed these are in AB, so there's
going to be this aurora borealis kind of finish on one side
that side is going to go down on all of the margarita beads
so the first thing you do is put your trunk
bead, the cube
onto you're head pin
and then stack
one each of the margarita beads
with that reflective side down
and just start with the largest size
and go
to the next smallest each time
then you're going to put
the bicone bead
on the top
and that's your whole tree
now we just need to make a wrapped wire loop
to do that I'm
going to take a pair of chain nose pliers
you just grip right above
your last bead and make
about an ninety degree bend on your wire
when you're going to hold onto that with the round nose plier
and bend
the tail
rotate your pliers a little
complete the bend
you can also use
your chain of pliers to pull that bend all the way
wrap
the tail around
you should have just about the right amount
left on your head pin to go around
the piece of wire there and it'll just be a little tiny bit left
so once you've
wrapped around and you get to where your beads are again
take a pair of
cutters
just
trim that extra little tail off
and then
push the end flat so that it doesn't polk
you can also straighten up your loop
make it look a little bit tidier
and that's all there is to making the little tree
you're just going to hang it from your earring hook
you're going to take the
end of the earring hook where the loop is, where it has this little ball
and just push it
to the side to open that up
hang
your earring by the loops that you created
and then
just bend that back
to close it up
make sure that's
closed this way too
and there you have it. You're going to repeat that whole process to make your second
earring
you'll have a pair of rockefeller christmas tree earrings.
