DIY: How To Make Swarovski Crystal Bow Earrings

Hello There!

Today, I have a pair of cute and classy earrings DIY for you guys. Two DIYs in one week? Crazy!

I personally love how whimsical yet glamourous they are. They're easy to make, so I had to share it.


Tools & Supplies:

You'll need a pair of the following:
Jewelry/Beading pliers
Earhooks/Studs (I used crystal studs)
Swarovski Fancy Crystals (I used 10mm cushion cut model #4470, see info on Swarovski site)
Matching Crystal settings
Bow Connecters (From http://www.TohoShoji-ny.com)
Jump rings

Earrings can be made in gold or silver.

Swarovski's fancy crystals are sold at their Crystallized store, use their website locator to find a store near you. You can also try running a quick search online, or your local beading/jewelry supply store. Wholesale places usually sell them for less. They retail for around $12-$15. You don't NEED to get these, but they are noticeably nicer than cheaper alternatives.

Earhooks, studs, or even hoops are up to you. DIY is all about customizing, right?



I find these earrings super versatile. You can wear it everyday or to a event. They're even suitable for weddings.

Good luck!

XOXO, M
