Without further ado, discover a selection of ultra-colorful creoles to customize with lemon or heart charms. In this tutorial, I'll show you how to transform these glass and plexiglass beads into charms for your earrings. The creoles are made of gold-plated stainless steel. Stainless steel is a tough metal that won't rust and is hypoallergenic. It's the perfect material for summer jewelry. These creoles are available in many colors. You can find them in the product variations section of the equipment list at the bottom of the page. Rectangular creoles are also available. The pale pink hearts shown in the tutorial may look big, but they're very light.
You can customize these creoles with many different charms and beads. Choose rings that are wide enough to fit over the hoop earrings. The advantage of this type of jewelry is that you can swap charms on and off the hoop in seconds, and change your style instantly. You can also slip resin flower beads directly onto them. With so many beads and charms to choose from, you're bound to find a charm to suit every outfit.
Have fun creating lots of charms for your earrings. You can even use them on a necklace like the one presented by Margaux: DIY Collier charms. You'll just need to change the fastening system, but with two jewelry pliers, it takes 5 seconds. To store and care for all your charms, we have a number of jewelry boxes and cases to suggest.
Don't hesitate to show us your own version of the creole.
The hole through the lemons is straight, which is why you need to use a bélière, triangular rings or copper wire to use these lemon beads as a charm. Here, we'll use bélières. Thread the rods through the hole and tighten the bail. This is easier to do by hand than with pliers. Open a ring, pass it through the leaf and close it over the clasp. Add another ring to the hoop so you can thread the lemons onto the creoles.
Open one ring very wide by twisting the two ends, pass it through the leaf and then close it over the clasp. Add another ring to the hoop so you can thread the lemons onto the creoles.
Pass a ball-headed nail through the heart bead and form a loop. To do this, bend the nail at 90 degrees, cut the nail at 8 mm from the angle using memory wire pliers, then form the loop with round pliers. Add a ring to thread the heart charm onto the creole.
Repeat the previous step to make this creole pattern.
