Martini Charm and Olive Bead Earrings

Tammy Powley
Look cool and sophisticated – or at least pretend to be – when you wear these fun Martini Charm and Olive Bead Earrings.

I have to admit that I don’t like to actually drink martinis (the taste seems to be about the same as if I stuck a straw in my gas tank), but the idea of drinking one seems so cool and sophisticated. So, instead, I’m wearing martinis in the form of these earrings, complete with green olive.

You will need the following tools and supplies:

2 Pewter martini charms (I got mine from Fire Mountain - item# 14-6989FN)
4 inches of 21-gauge Sterling wire
2 Sterling crimp beads
2 - 4mm (or size 8) Green glass beads
Wire cutters
Chain-nosed pliers
Round-nosed pliers
