Pink Earrings

My Pink Earrings
My pink earrings are one of my favorite of all the earrings I have made thus far. Especially because I think they go with any color and style of wardrobe. I chose the grape-vine design because of its popularity in almost all the fashion magazines and the stores. However, just by looking at the magazines, I wasn't able to imitate the design.

Fortunately, I got a closer look at the similar earrings when I was window shopping in Dillard's, from the company called "Barse". being expensive, I wasn’t very fond of the colors they had available.

I went to my favorite store again and got some supplies. I tried to mix all variations of pinks from fuchsia to baby pink. For these, I had to get a few different supplies than my previous earrings. Such as jump rings, pins with flat-head on one side, and long oval hoops to make the earrings dangle.

How to make:
- Insert one bead per flat-head pin and cut the excess length of the pin
- Use your round nose pliers to make the other end round and put it aside
- I used twenty-five of them in one earring, to make it look fuller.
- The number of beads on each earrings can be adjusted according to the length and fullness of the earrings. 
- After you are done, make a 5 tier simple linked chain with the jump rings and attach them to the hoop
- Starting at the very bottom of the link, attach 1on the first link, 3 on the second, 9 on the third, 7 on forth, and 5 on the fifth link.

I hope the instruction was clear enough. If you have questions, feel free to comment.
