Earring Craft – Circles Earrings
Jenniver over at Art Bead Scene gives us this tutorial how to make a circles earrings craft project. In this tutorial she only tell us how to arrange the wire and bead into the earrings. As for how to make the attractive beads, you may visit her blog for detail. Enjoy..
Supplies:
12 inches of 20 gauge sterling silver wire
2 orange 3/4 inch discs
2 silver ear hooks
Tools:
needle nose pliers
flat nose pliers
wire cutters
Instructions:
1. Start by bending your wire in a ninety degree angle about three inches from the end.
2. String one of the disc beads onto the wire. Push the bead onto the bend. (You might have to move the wire some to get the bead to hang just right.)
3. Bring both wires up so the bead is hanging in the bend. Twist one wire around the other wire to secure it. Trim the excess wire from the piece you just wrapped around.
4. With the remaining wire that is standing up, make a simple wire loop. Trim the excess wire.
5. Open the ear wire and slide it onto the loop you just made and close it. You have now completed one earring.
6. Follow steps one through five to make your second earring.
