Frozen for grownups!  Too cute!!

When I was challenged by Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores to create a glamorous gift as part of their Make Gifts Merrier movement, I knew exactly what I would make: JEWELRY, of course!  I am such a jewelry junkie!  In fact, that is how my blog got its name!  I was designing and selling jewelry and my sister thought of the name “Bombshell Bling Jewelry” for my Etsy shop.  The rest is history.  🙂

I have a two and a half year old daughter, so, as you can imagine, we watch a LOT of Frozen in our home.  A LOT.  We were even the cast of Frozen characters for Halloween!  I have shared other Frozen inspired tutorials on my site in the past, but I couldn’t resist doing another one.  I walked into my local Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Store and, despite seeing rows of glimmering goodies, I was immediately drawn to the icy blues and whites.  However, instead of giving my Frozen inspired project a kiddie feel, like my prior tutorials, I decided to opt for a grown up take.  And thus my icy dangle cluster earrings were born.  If you can master a few basic steps you will be delighted by how quickly this earring making tutorial comes together, and by how easy it will be to customize in the future!

Let’s get started, fellow glam lovers!  Below you will see the supplies that you will need.  I got all of them at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores.  Blue crystals, white glittering beads, eyepins, extra large jump ring, kidney ear wires, round nosed pliers, flat nosed pliers, wire snips.

Frozen Inspired Dangle Cluster Earrings-1

Start with one of your crystals or beads and an eyepin.  Thread the eyepin through your crystal/bead.  Use the round nosed pliers to bend the eyepin to the side, as shown below.

Next you will twist the eyepin back over the round nosed pliers until it loops around, as shown below.

While you are holding the pliers as shown below, grab the flat nosed pliers and use them to grab the eyepin’s wire end and twist it a couple of times around itself (the eyepin) so that it is secured, as shown below.

Use the wire snips to clip off the excess eyepin wire, as shown below.

Frozen Inspired Dangle Cluster Earrings-5

Repeat this process over and over with a total of six white beads and six blue crystals.  When you have them all completed, use your pliers to gently bend open an extra large jump ring and then simply thread the jump ring through the loops, alternating white beads and blue crystals.

Use your flatnosed pliers to bend the jump ring back into a closed position.

Finally, slide the kidney ear wire through the center of the jump ring.

All done!  You can use this technique with any beads, so this tutorial is endlessly customizable!  SCORE, right?!
