How to Make Swarovski Crystal Woven Earrings

Jewelry making can be very enjoyable and rewarding. Not only do many people find beads to be a lovely item to collect, but the idea of using these beautiful beads to make unique jewelry is a craft that is gaining popularity.

With a little experience and knowledge you could easily learn how to create a pair of earrings in as little as ten minutes. Here are simple instructions for earrings that are attractive and stylish.

Step 1
Cut a 8-inch length of beading wire. Find the center of the wire.

Step 2
Thread the 4-mm Swarovski Crystal bead onto the wire and place it in the center of the wire.

Step 3
Thread a 3-mm Swarovski Crystal bead onto each side of the 4-mm bead.

Step 4
Thread one end of the beading wire through one end of another 3-mm Swarovski Crystal bead. Thread the other end of the beading wire through the opposite end of the same Swarovski Crystal bead. Pull each end of the wire tight to pull the bead down tightly against the other beads.

Step 5
Thread another 3-mm Swarovski Crystal bead onto each end of the beading wire. Push the beads down tightly against the other beads.

Step 6
Thread one end of the beading wire through one end of another 3-mm Swarovski Crystal bead. Thread the other end of the beading wire through the opposite end of the same Swarovski Crystal bead. Pull each end of the wire tight to pull the bead down tightly against the other beads.

Step 7
Pull all of the beads down tightly and thread a crimp bead onto both ends of the beading wire. Pull the crimp bead down tightly against the other beads as well.

Step 8
Thread both ends of the beading wire through the loop of an earring finding and back down into the crimp bead. Pull the beading wire tight to make sure that there is no excess of beading wire between any beads and that all the beads are tight.

Step 9
Crimp the crimp bead with the needle nose pliers to secure and finish the earring. Trim off the excess beading wire extending out from the crimped crimp bead.
Step10Repeat steps 1 through 9 to create a second earring. Pay close attention to the first earring as you make the second, to make sure that they are made the same size.
