Probably cheaper than buying
When hanging my earrings onto my earring wall, I noticed that some pairs had crappy hooks. However, when I went to replace them I found that I was out of hooks.
So I made my own.

For the kind of beads, see my first image. I don't know what they're called. ;-)

Well done. The wire stuff is called eye pins and the beads you used just plain bronze beads. Silver can also be used or seed beads.

Execellent tut, you should be proud.
