Candy Cane Earrings
Christmas Jewelry
Things
Needed:
- 24 gauge wire
- red and white wooden beads (I used 4 mM diameter); you can also use crystals
- 4 clear seed beads
- 4 4mM jump rings
- 2 fish hook earrings
- jewerly pliers and wire cutters
1. Begin the earrings by cutting two lengths of 24 gauge wire with the wire cutters, about 2 inches long for each segment.
2.
Next, bend these two wires into the shape of a candy cane, as
shown below.
3.
Using the jewerly pliers, make a small loop at the short end
of the cane shape, so a small seed bead will not fall off.
4.
Thread on a clear seed bead up to the end of the short end of
the candy cane, then start threading on white and red beads.
After the first three beads are added, thread on a jump ring.
5. Continue by threading beads, alternating between white and red. When it is long enough, thread on a clear seed bead, then make a loop to hold it on using the jewerly pliers.

6.
Add on a second jump ring to the first ring at the top of the
candy cane. Use the jewelry pliers to pry the ring open,
thread it on, then tighten. Then add on the fish hook earring finding
to the second jump ring. Your candy cane earrings are done
and ready to wear!
