Learn to make some fun beaded earrings using pearls or your choice of beads or crystals. I use flexible stringing wire with little spacer beads as crimp tubes to suspend these pretty seed pearls in an illusion-style design.
Wouldn’t these be fun using festive colorful beads for Christmas? They kind of look like little Christmas trees :)

TOOLS + MATERIALS:
• .015″ diameter flexible stringing wire
• 20-24 3mm or 4mm beads, crystals, or pearls
• 20-24 small crimp tubes OR 2mm round silver beads*
• chain nosed pliers
• crimping tool**
• flush cutters
NOTES:
* I’m using round spacer beads instead of crimp tubes because they were a better size than the crimp tubes I had. **If you can find small 1 x 1 mm crimp tubes in the material you want to use, you may not need to use the crimping tool – just squash the crimp flat with your chain nosed pliers, just like we did the first crimp in the video!
Also, keep in mind that there are different size crimping tools for different size crimps – the standard crimping tool works well with the 2mm crimps and 2mm round spacer beads, but if you’d like to use a smaller size you may need a smaller crimping tool.
