Crystal Fireworks Charm

In my continuing efforts to make sure my cell phone is well dressed, I came up with this Crystal Fireworks Charm. You could make two of these for some wild earrings, dangle one from your purse, or use one charm as a focal point for a necklace design.

The crystal dangles actually spread out a little due to the tension in the beading wire, so it has a spraying affect just like fireworks do when they get shot up into the air.

You'll need:

3 royal blue 10x8mm teardrop crystal beads
3 red square 6mm red crystal beads
3 clear AB 6mm round crystal beads
48 size 11 clear AB seed beads
*1 - 20mm silver foil glass star bead
**2 feet of white colored Soft Touch .010 inches
1 2x2mm crimp bead
1 spring ring clasp
crimping pliers
wire cutters of beading wire cutters

*The star bead is available at gems2behold.com.

**Soft Touch beading wire available at Soft Flex Company.
