Description

Make classy earrings from using wire wrapping techniques

Instructions

1. 

   Cut two pieces of wire approx 8 inches long. I like to work on both earrings at the same time, step-by-step, so that both of the earrings end up matching as closely as possible.

2. 

   Take the top third of the wire and bend it around a small cylindrical object like a pen or marker.

3. 

   Use your round nose pliers to make a circle at the end of the wire you just looped.

4. 

   String on your beads. I used bronze glass beads and smokey quartz beads. Then, bend the bottom third of the wire around a pen like you did with the top end.

5. 

   Trim the excess wire from the end if necessary and loop the free end with your round nose pliers.

6. 

   Use bent nose or round nose hooks to attach your ear wires and you are done!
