Chasing the Golden Moon Earrings Tutorial

Created by: Rita Hutchinson

Designer Tips
Cut 2 lengths of wire, each about 30" long. You want enough to lash all the crystals, but not so much that the wire is in the way.
Anchor 26-gauge wire to the heart shape, and then lash crystals in a random color pattern around the shape. Use approximately 17 beads per earring (34 beads total).
Open loop on earwire, and attach to one of the lashing loops.
See our Wire Lashing blog article for further details on lashing beads.
