💧 Cascade Earrings Tutorial

🧰 Materials You’ll Need

• Round‑nose pliers
• Wire cutters
• 14 head pins
• Jade beads (or any 6–8 mm beads you like)
• 2 ear wires
• 27 jump rings (6 mm)
• Small metallic spacer beads (4 mm)

🔹 Step 1 — Prepare Your Beads

Thread one jade bead and one metallic spacer bead onto each head pin.

You should end up with 14 beaded pins.

🔹 Step 2 — Cut the Pins to Different Lengths

Using your wire cutters, trim the pins so you have a variety of lengths. This is what creates the “cascade” effect.

Aim for 3–4 different lengths so the beads fall in a soft, staggered line.

🔹 Step 3 — Make a Loop on Each Pin

With your round‑nose pliers, bend the top of each pin into a small loop.

🔹 Step 4 — Attach Pins to the Jump Ring

Open a 6 mm jump ring.

Hook all of your beaded pins onto the ring, arranging them from shortest to longest to create a cascading look.

Close the jump ring securely.

🔹 Step 5 — Add the Ear Wire

Attach the jump ring full of pins to an ear wire.

Repeat the process for the second earring.

🌟 Step 6 — Customize Your Style

Once you’ve mastered the basic technique, try experimenting with different materials:

• Pearls
• Cat’s eye beads
• Jade
• Swarovski crystals
• Bohemian glass beads

Mix colors, textures, and lengths to create your own unique versions of the cascade earring.
