Rhinestone Pavé Dangle Earrings

You all know that our motto around here is that glitter makes everything better, and you know I’m easily distracted by shiny things!  So when I saw Rhinestone Pavé Ball beads last time I was browsing the GoodyBeads site, I couldn’t resist!  They come in lots of colors, but the Fuchsia was my favorite.  Here’s how I made some sparkly dangle earrings with them…

Step 1: Place your pavé ball on a head pin.

Step 2: Form a simple wire loop.  You can do wire wrapping if you like, but I felt like that took away from the beauty of the bead itself.  If you’re not sure how to make a loop, check out my Basic Wire Loops & Wrapping post.  It will walk you through with step by step photos; I promise, it’s easier than you think!

Step 3: Slide the wire loop onto a kidney shaped ear wire.  If you prefer the look of a french ear wire or another type, you can certainly substitute whatever you like.  I chose this because I like the effect of it and the fact that this type of earring is longer, which works better with my hair.

That’s all there is to it; another super simple jewelry project you can do in less than five minutes…and look how fun the finished earrings are!  I mean, who doesn’t love to sparkle and shine?
