Got Some Special Beads You Want to Show Off? Try Making These Triangle-Shaped Ladder Earrings

These earrings are a bit of a hybrid between our triangle chain earrings and our beaded ladder necklace. Make them using some beautiful beads to make a stunning statement.

You will need the following tools and materials to make these earrings:

1: Pliers. You will need your flat nose pliers, cutting pliers and round nose pliers to make these earrings.

2: Two earring hooks.

3: Two jump rings.

4: Four pieces of chain that are all the same length.

5: Six eye pins.

6: Six beads in three different sizes, this will help give you the triangle shape.

Follow these steps to make your own triangle ladder earrings:

1: Attach two chains to each of the jump rings.

2: Add an earring hook to each of the open jump rings and then close the rings to secure the chains to the earring hooks.

3: Add each of the beads to the eye pins. You may need to trim your pins depending on how long they are. I used some that were already cut to size.

4: Bend each pin so that it is at a right angle to the bead using the round nose pliers.

5: Create a loop on the end of each pin to secure each of the beads in place.

6: Take the largest bead and attach it to the end links of the chains on one earring.

7: Repeat step 6 for the second largest bead, attaching it further up the chain and making sure it is level.

8: Repeat this once again for the third and smallest bead, attaching it a few links up from the second bead. You will now have one earring completed.

9: Repeat steps 6 to 8 for the second earring.

Now your earrings are done! What funky beads will you use on yours?

These triangle earrings are made with shell and gemstone beads and delicate chains for a different look.
