With football season fast approaching, it’s time to break out your team spirit! Colorful jewelry that shows off team colors will make it easy for everyone to know who you’re cheering for! Simply swap out the Swarovski crystal colors to make earrings that support your favorite team!
With just a few supplies you can show off your team spirit.
Supplies Needed
- 2 each Swarovski Spike Pendants (6480)
- 2 dozen Swarovski 4mm Bicone Beads (5328) (cobalt and tangerine pictured)
- 1 pair Nickel-Free Earring Hooks (blue niobium pictured)
- 8 inches 22-Gauge Artistic Wire (Bare Copper color pictured)
- 24 each Silver-Plated Ball-End Head Pins
- 6 each Silver-Plated Jump Rings
- Basic Jewelry Tool Set
Now follow the steps below!
First take a 4 inch piece of wire and wrap it through the hole of your crystal spike 3 times.
Wrap the short piece of wire around the longer piece of wire 3 to 4 times. Cut off any excess wire on the short piece leaving just a long piece of wire.
Use your round nose pliers to make a loop. Secure the loop by wrapping your wire down to the crystal and then back up to your loop.
Trim any excess wire and tuck your end into the loop.
Your crystal spike should look like this when finished.
Follow the above steps to wrap your second crystal.
Now you will add one 4mm crystal bicone onto one of your ball-end headpins.
Using your round nose pliers, make a loop and wrap the remaining wire down to your crystal.
Clip any excess.
Repeat until you have all 24 crystal bicones wrapped.
Open all of your jump rings.
Add 4 of your handmade crystal charms onto a jump ring and attach the jump ring to one of your spikes.
Add another jump ring with 4 crystals in your second color. Leave 2 of the crystals you previously added on each side.
Add one more jump ring and 2 crystals in each color.
Repeat for the second earring, then add earring hooks at the top and you’re done!
I hope to see tons of team spirit this year!
I hope you enjoy making these earrings in your team colors! ~ Always, Kayla
