Instructions
Step 1
Using a texture hammer and block, hammer the front of 10 washers until you are pleased with the texture.

*Optional step: Patina washers using Liver of Sulfur or my cheater patina method: https://www.wirejewelry.com/jewelry_making_tips_techniques/Cheater-Patina_488.html.

Step 2
I used 5 decreasing sizes of washers per earring. You can also use 3 of the same size if desired for a similar effect. Just be sure to watch out for heaviness on your earlobes!

Step 3
Make 10 crystal dangles by sliding a crystal onto a headpin and making a simple loop.
