Blue Tassel Earrings

Step 1:

Create the tassels.
Following the instructions included with the tassel maker, create 2 large tassels (approximately 40 wraps) with the blue and silver tassel cord. Do not cut the tassel cord into two tassels.

Use the tassel loop to make one large tassel with a 7mm jump
ring. Set aside.

Step 2:

Cut the wire.
Using the memory wire shears, cut a single loop of memory wire.

Step 3:

Add a loop.
Using the multi sized looping pliers, create a horizontal closed loop on one end of the memory wire loop by grasping the end of the wire with the smallest mandrel on the pliers and rolling back towards the side of the wire.

Step 4:

Thread on the beads.
Thread on 1 silver spacer bead, 1 Czech glass bead, 1 silver spacer bead, 1 Czech glass bead, 1 silver spacer bead, 1 Czech glass bead, 1 silver spacer bead, 1 Czech glass bead and 1 silver spacer bead.

Step 5:

Add another loop.
Using the multi sized looping pliers, repeat step 3 to create a closed loop on the other side of the wire.

Step 6:

Add a jump ring…
Using chain nose pliers, thread a 7mm jump ring through both of
the closed loops on the memory wire.

Step 7:

…then add another jump ring.
Before closing the jump ring, thread on another 7mm jump ring. Close the jump ring.

Step 8:

Connect the tassel.
Using chain nose pliers, open the 7mm jump ring you just added and thread on the 7mm jump ring that is attached to one of the prepared tassels. Close the jump ring.

Step 9:

The finishing touches.
Using chain nose pliers, open the loop on the bottom of one of the ear wires. Thread the loop through the top jump ring that connects the memory wire loops. Close the ear wire loop.

Repeat steps 2-9 to create a second earring.

There you have it! The finished earrings should look similar to the
feature image.
