Ship's Lantern Filigree Earrings Tutorial
Created by: Polly Nobbs-LaRue Designer Tips
Antique the filigrees with Novacan or Win-Ox (see tip sheet in parts list below) and set aside. Add crystal and metal beads to the head pins, and make wrapped loops. For the top beaded pin, use an eye pin, or cut the ball off a ball-end head and make a simple loop on the bottom. Make sure your top loop is perpendicular (90 degrees) to the bottom loop, so the earring hangs straight. If necessary, use 2 pairs of flat-nose pliers to adjust the angle after finishing the loops. Use jump rings to attach the bottom dangles to the filigree. Free Technique Sheets & How-Tos Continued Below...
