Rhumba Earrings Tutorial

Today we're going to be making a set of earrings that require very little supplies, one basic skill, and can be completely customized to any color or to compliment any outfit. It's a fun and playful earring that I just love!


Crafts

Instructions


  1. Step 1 1

    Here's our materials for this project:

  2. Step 2 2

    To begin, tighten and completely close 4 of the small jump rings. Twist the ring ends sideways past each other slightly if they aren't lining up.

    Next, open the rest of the jump rings by twisting the ends past each other while holding with 2 pairs of pliers. Never pull the ends away from each other, this will distort the circular shape of the ring and make it difficult to return to its previous form.

    With one opened small ring, pick up two of the closed small rings. Twist the open ring closed completely, being careful there are no gaps between wire ends.

    Attach another ring to the end of the chain and twist closed. Add one final ring to the end of the chain, and attach an ear wire.

  3. Step 3 3

    Here's what the chains will look like when you have all 5 rings attached to each hook.

    The chain links are where we'll be attaching the beaded jump rings.

  4. Step 4 4

    Add a seed bead to each large jump ring. Close one beaded ring on the bottom link of the chain, and two on each link moving up, on opposite sides of the chain as pictured.

    Note: It's definitely easier to attach the beaded rings from the bottom up, not starting at the top as pictured here. This just makes it easier to see how to attach the rings to either side of the chain.

  5. Step 5 5

    Lots of Rhumba Earrings, lots of different colors! Make a pair for any, no, every outfit!
