Here are the earrings to match the necklace I posted last week.

This is a super quick project.  What makes it special is you can use any beads that catch your fancy.  If you find a pair of larger ones that you love, use only two.  Got some smaller beads?  Use three.  Use spacers of any type: crystal, seed beads or metal.

You’re only limited by your imagination. Oh, the possibilities…

Happy creating! 🙂

Materials:

• 2 matching pairs 10-15mm beads
• 6 large glass seed beads, or other spacers of your choice
• 2 fish hook ear wires
• 2 – 2-inch head pins

Tools:

• chain nose pliers
• round nose pliers
• wire cutters

To make earrings:

1. On a head pin arrange two of the 10-15mm beads alternating with 3 large seed beads.
2. Make a wire wrapped loop to make a bead dangle:

• Use chain nose pliers to grasp wire just at point where it exits last bead.
• Bend wire at 90° angle.
• Grasp bend with round nose pliers and wrap wire around pliers as far as possible to start to make a loop.
• Reposition pliers to finish loop.
• Wrap remaining wire around wire below 90° bend.
• Use wire cutters to trim excess wire.
• Use chain nose pliers to tuck in end of wire.

3. Use chain nose pliers to open loop of an ear wire and insert wrapped loop just made.
4. Repeat to make matching earring.
