Here you’re already with Christmas craft for gifts of making chandelier earrings from cardboard. Okay, let’s start create this Christmas gifts:

Draw a dozen pairs of stars in varying sizes on cardboard. 24 stars altogether to be divided into 2 equal sets. The smallest star should be at least 2 cm wide.

Cut out these stars and paint them shiny silver or gold or any pretty color depending on the look you want. Divide these stars into 2 equal sets. Work on 1 set at a time.

Take the first set; divide it into 3 subsets of 4 stars. Each subset should one of the 3 largest stars in this set.

Take one subset of 4 stars. Thread a needle and pierce it through the spike of the largest star. Tie a knot to secure this star. This will be the bottom of that earring strand.

Pass the needle through a 3 tiny beads.

Run the needle through the center of the second largest star in the subset and secure it by running the needle through a point in the star. Tie a knot to secure this star and pass the thread through 3 more tiny beads.

Repeat steps 6 for the other stars in the subset.

Pass the needle through the eye of the earring finding and back through the top bead of this strand, securing the strand to the earring finding.

Repeat steps 4 to 9 for the other 2 strands. Once done, you have a single chandelier earring.

Repeat steps 3 to 9 with the other set for the matching earring.
