Popcorn & Berry Sparkle Earrings

The holidays are always a wonderful excuse to make jewelry, and one reason I enjoy making jewelry for holiday celebrations is that I get to add a bit of whimsy to a piece. These earrings do just that, but they also have a splash of sparkle. I’ve mixed fun popcorn and cranberry beads with crystal rondelles in this earring design that is sure to get noticed.

*2 popcorn lampwork beads
