Scrap Chain Tassel Earring Tutorial

Designer Tips
If you buy spools of chain for various projects, you inevitably end up with scrap pieces. These left overs are too short for necklaces or maybe too fine a style to use for bracelet projects. And if you're like me, you may have a bag of random lengths you don't want to throw away. This DIY project creates a pair of tassel style earrings in less than 30 minutes.
Since you are using scraps, and mixed metal jewelry remains in fashion, you don't need to make each earring using the exact same pieces or length of chain.
For each earring, mix and match 3 pieces of scrap chain, each about 10-12" long. I chose two styles: a fine flattened cable chain (#40-099-09-7), and a ball chain (#40-889-6). I found that finer chain works well, so you don't end up with a bulky looking knot.
