How to Attach Crystals to Handcrafted Earrings

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Ella Seltzer for Expert Village. Now I'm going to show you how to glue the crystals into the component. You've seen the same thing before in the other necklace that I made. Just as a PS. but it's an important PS. I've shown you, I've demonstrated how to complete the earring on one earring, but really, the whole magic of earrings is that you're making two, whereas a necklace you make one, and a bracelet you make one. Earrings you are making two and you're making two identical earrings. So it's actually highly advisable and I would say pretty important when you're working to really work one earring at a time. So whatever stage that I set, you should immediately repeat that stage with the other earring so that you don't have uneven looking earrings. Ok. So you just take the glue, and it's all come pouring out, take the glue, and add the crystal. As in the necklace I chose to put the reds on the outside and the white in the middle. That doesn't mean you have to do the same thing at all. I've noticed some very pretty designer jewelry where there are numerous colors in one flower, all very bright and all contrasting. So you can go as bold as you want to go. And you can match up your seed beads accordingly. This one is not going in the right direction. There we are. Ok. And there we have it. And once again you need to allow twelve hours for it to dry. So don't be tempted to wear them once you've made them, because otherwise you'll have all your crystals falling out."
