    Quick Project Steps

    This winter, show off your holiday spirit with these Quick Wire Christmas Tree Earrings!
    They're easy to make and only require a few materials. So grab your supplies and follow along with the PotomacBeads Tutorial!
    Cut 9 inches of 20ga wire. Use pliers to make a small loop in the center of the wire. Bend the wire up about an inch from either side of the loop. Cross the wires at the top, forming a triangle. Cut one end of the wire and bend the other end into a loop. It's easy to make your Christmas Tree Earrings any size that you'd like.
    Cut about 3 feet of 26ga wire. Wrap it around the base three times, cut with pliers and pinch the coils together to the bottom of the tree. Add on the beads of your choice. The crystal bicones add a nice sparkle. Once you have the beads stretched across the base of the tree, wrap the wire twice around the base and begin the next row.
    When you get to the top of the tree, you can add a star bead. Wrap the wire around the base of the top loop. Use pliers to tuck the end of the wire behind the bead. Add the earwire and you're done!
    If you're looking for a quick and easy Christmas craft, you're in luck! These Quick Wire Christmas Tree Earrings are just the thing. They're simple to make, and you can create all sorts of different designs. What's great about this project is that it's perfect for giving as a gift. Who wouldn't love a pair of handmade earrings? Plus, they're so festive and fun.
