These carnelian Christmas bauble earrings simply hung off earwires are the perfect handmade gift! We've chosen our popular gold filled shepherds crook earwires for an elegant design.
1. Simply thread the bead onto a head pin followed by the 9ct gold heishi bead.
2. Using round nose pliers create a loop with the headpin at the end of the beads. Wrap a few wraps around the stem to secure and cut off the excess wire with side cutters. Use the round nose pliers to neaten the loop if needed.
3. Hook the headpin onto the loop of the earring setting and pinch the loop closed to secure in place.
4. Repeat the process for the second earring. Your design is now complete!
