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.
- Open loop on earwire, and attach to one of the lashing loops.
See our Wire Lashing blog article for further details on lashing beads.
