Ornament Thursday - Lucky Earrings

Green and gold = luck of the Irish, right? Well, you can wear these funky little swingers until you find your own Leprechaun.

I made these last year for one of those free project sheets that they give away at Michaels craft stores. They're made with gold Beadalon beading wire accented with peridot Swarovski crystals. This technique makes it easy to create your own swanky swingers in any color combo.

You can find the complete instructions here. Have fun!
