Want the Perfect Accessory to Celebrate the Silly Season? You Need These Colorful Earrings
I’ve been thinking about making some earrings featuring pom poms for a while, and now, with the silly season upon us, it felt like the perfect time to create some cute pom pom dangle earrings. These earrings are fun and sophisticated, perfect for brightening up a festive winter evening or for adding a colorful accent to compliment a fresh summer frock. These adorable earrings are super easy to make, you’ll be knocking their socks off in no time.
You’ll need the following tools and materials to make these pom pom dangle earrings:
1: Pliers. I mostly used my round nose pliers to make these earrings but make sure you have all your pliers on hand to make these earrings.
2: Two earring hooks.
3: Six head pins.
4: Six pom poms in different colors.
5: Beads of your choice. I used an assortment of differently colored glass seed beads.
The Steps:
1: Take one pin and begin adding beads in your desired pattern. For my first pin I added the pom pom after the first bead. Add the pom pom by piercing its center with the head pin. Make sure you make two of each pin design so that your earrings match.
2: Continue adding beads after you have added the pom pom.
3: Once you have added all your beads, use the round nose pliers to bend the pin at a right angle to the beaded section.
4: Use the round nose pliers to curl the pin into a loop in the opposite direction to the first bend you made in step 3.
5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all of you beaded head pins.
6: Sort your pins into the arrangement you would like to feature on your earrings.
7: Take an earring hook and use your pliers to open the bottom loop.
8: Slide three of the charms onto the open loop.
9: Use the pliers to close the earring loop and secure the charms into place. Repeat steps 8 and 9 for the second earring.
10: Now your earrings are ready to wear! I hope you have a fun festive season in these stunning dangle drop earrings.
