List of Supplies:
1. Earring hooks – 2
2. Jump rings – 2
3. Bead stopper
4. Jewelry charms – 2
5. Seed beads
6. Jewelry wire – 24 gauge
7. Craft pliers
Instructions:
Step 1:
Take a bead stopper and insert seed beads into it. Keep beading until it reaches the required length.
But also make sure that there is enough wire at the end to create a loop and a few coils.
Step 2:
Take the looping pliers and hold it right next to where the beading ends. Create a loop with the
intact wire (at the end of the beading).
Step 3:
Bring the wire under the loop and coil the remaining wire below the loop to secure the beading.
Step 4:
Similarly, bead 2 or more wires (wire with beading end/ bead stopper).
Step 5:
Take a small piece (about 6 cm will do) of 24 gauge wire and insert its open end through the loop of
the selected charm. Draw the wire towards its closed end and coil a few times to secure the charm with the wire.
Step 6:
Bead the rest of the wire but keep enough wire at the open end to create a loop and a few coils
under the loop. Once you are done beading create a loop right next to the end of beading and then
coil the remaining wire below the loop.
Step 7:
Grab an earring hook, a jump ring and arrange the beaded wires as you want to attach them.
Step 8:
Attach the earring hook with the jump ring and then attach the beaded wires with the same jump
ring.
Step 9:
Similarly create the other pair of earrings.
