Materials You'll Need
1️⃣ BEADS
The blueberry and leaf beads are sold as a set here. If purchasing elsewhere, you will need round beads for the blueberries and green leaf beads.
2️⃣ HEAD PINS
The length and size depends on the beads you're using. If using our bead set, 21 gauge head pins at least 1 inch long work best. Thicken head pins may not fit through the hole of the leaf beads.
3️⃣ JUMP RINGS
All the components are held together with a jump ring. When using our bead set, you will need 21 gauge open jump rings with a minimum outer diameter of 6mm. I recommend using stainless steel jump rings, which are stronger than base metal or even sterling silver.
4️⃣ EARRING COMPONENTS
You will need ear wires or hoops to turn these charms into dangly earrings.
5️⃣ TOOLS
You will need round nose pliers or a one step looper tool to make loops. You will also need two pairs of chain nose pliers to open and close the jump ring.
HELPFUL TIPS
These charms are easy to make, but if you're not experienced with making loops, I suggest practicing with inexpensive base metal head pins, especially if you plan to use sterling silver or gold-filled findings in the finished product.
HOW TO MAKE BEADED CHERRY CHARMS
(PHOTO INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BELOW WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS)
Thread a blue bead onto a head pin. Repeat for the second and third blueberry.
Use round nose pliers or the 1-step looper tool to create loops.
Open the jump ring and thread the three blueberry beads, followed by a leaf bead. Be careful when adding the leaf bead for the large blueberries. You will need to open the jump ring widely. It may take a little finagling to get the leaf onto the jump ring. Don't push too hard and risk ruining the jump ring.
Close the jump ring securely and attach it to an ear wire or hoop.
