Step-By-Step Instructions

If you're looking for a fun and easy way to add some pizzazz to your earrings, then you'll love this fringe technique. Watch as Bridgette shows her Crystal Tassel earring design.
Knot the thread to the eyepin. Put the disco ball onto the thread, it will act as an anchor. Thread on 20 rondelles and pull them down to the disco ball. Pick up a seed bead and thread back up through the beads to complete the first strand. Don't pull the thread super tight to keep some movement in your earring.
Loop through the eyepin and bring the thread back through the disco ball and pick up another 20 rondelles for the second strand. Repeat for each strand until you have the amount you would like for your tassel.
Loop through the eyepin and tie the thread into a knot with the tail end from the beginning. You can use a dab of glue to hold everything in place. Trim off the rest of the thread. Add on the bead cap.Use pliers to make a loop in the wire. Trim off the excess wire.
These earrings are so much fun to make and they're really versatile. You can wear them with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual look, or dress them up with a cute dress. Either way, you're sure to turn heads!
You can use more rondelles or larger ones to make a statement piece such as a pendant. Try using different colors for a new look. No matter how you choose to wear them, crystal tassel earrings are a beautiful and eye-catching way to accessorize. So get creative, and have fun!
