This is a pair of Santa earrings that I made to wear during the Holidays.

Supplies

2 - French Hooks

2 - 22-ga. 2" Headpins

2 - 24-ga. 1" Headpins

2 - Red 12x8mm Glass Teardrops

2 - Clear 8mm Round Crystal Beads

2 - Glass White Pearl 8x3mm Rondelle Beads

2 - Glass White Pearl 4mm Round Beads

Step 1: Assemble Santa

On the 2" head pin, put the round clear bead, then the round pearl rondelle. Put the red teardrop last.

Step 2: Closed Loop

This is a very simple design. Making a closed loop is the only thing you need to know. Bend the head pin at a 90° angle above the red bead. Leave enough space to wrap the loop. Wrap the wire around the jaw of a round nose plier to form a loop. Connect the loop to the French Hook before you close the loop in the next step.

Step 3: Closing the Loop

Close the loop by wrapping the wire around the top of the wire above the bead, about 3 times. Trim the excess wire, and press the cut end against the loops.

Step 4: Santa Hat Dangle

String the round pearl on the 1" headpin. Bend the head pin at a 90° angle same as above. Leave enough space to wrap the loop. Form a loop with the round nose pliers. Connect to the loop above the Santa before finishing the wrap. As above wrap the wire about 3 times above the bead to finish the loop. Trim the excess wire, and press the cut end against the loops.
