Earrings with Martha Stewart Jewelry

This post is sponsored by Plaid, Martha Stewart and The Blueprint Social.

Have you seen the new line of Martha Stewart Jewelry products available exclusively at Michael’s?

It is fabulous!!  The new line includes beads, charms, tools, rhinestones, settings, chains, and so much more.

I’m sure you all know by now that I love making jewelry so I was thrilled to have the opportunity to play around with a few of the new products.

I decided to use the beads and chain to make a few pairs of earrings.  Can you ever have too many earrings?

For my first pair, I decided to pair the pink beads with the turquoise beads to make a cute pair of cluster earrings.

Pink and Turquoise Cluster Earrings

Supplies needed:

• pair of earwires
• small beads
• headpins
• jump rings or chain
• round bending pliers 

Step 1: Thread each of the beads you want to use on a headpin. Use pliers to trim excess wire (leave about a quarter inch above the bead) and create a loop above each bead.

Step 2: Add 5 links of chain to the earring hook.

Step 3: Add beads to each link of chain.

For the second pair, I decided to use the purple beads.

Purple Beaded Drop Earrings

Supplies needed:

• pair of earwires
• 6 beads
• headpins
• chain
• round bending pliers 

Step 1: Take one headpin and one bead. Thread bead on headpin and create loop at the end. Add to the earring hook.

Step 2: Separate the chain links so you have one that is 6 links long and 9 links long. Add to the end of the bead.

Step 3: Thread headpins through the other two beads. Create loops above each bead. Add to the end of each chain.

The third pair are super fun and a little glamorous!

Green Crystal Channel Earrings

Supplies needed:

• pair of earwires
• crystal chain
• jump rings
• small beads
• head pins
• pliers

Step 1: Separate crystals into sections of one, two and three lengths.  Add jump rings to ends that need them.

Step 2:  Thread headpins through each small bead and create loop at end.  You will need 10 all together.  Add one to the end of each section of crystals.

Step 3:  Add jump ring to earring wire.

Step 3: Attach crystals to jump ring and close.

How fun and simple is that?

Just pop in a good movie or catch up on some of your DVR'd shows and have fun creating new earrings just in time for summer.

I really love all the products in the new Martha Stewart Jewelry line.  I could probably sit home all day and make new jewelry!
