Candy Cane Earrings
I've already got the Christmas Tree and Snowman earrings at home and really wanted another holiday earring so I came up with this fun little candy cane design.  I used opaque white round druks and frosted ruby AB druks and they look like real candy canes!  I hope you enjoy wearing these little sweets on your ears! –Carolyn, Owner eebeads.com

Directions:
Step 1. Open a jump ring, insert an ear wire and close the jump ring.  Set this to the side.

Step 2.  Take a Head Pin and thread your rounds in this sequence: one Ruby, one White, one Ruby, one White, one Ruby, one White, one Ruby, one White, one Ruby, now the jump ring, then one White, one Ruby and one White. Using Round Tip Pliers, bend the Head Pin to form a very tiny loop at the end to keep the beads in place.

Step 3. To form the curve in the candy cane, use your hands and gently bend the Head Pin downward until you’re satisfied with the shape.

Step 4. Repeat to complete the other earring. Enjoy!
