Up | Previous | Next
padThese earwires are a hot innovation for creative beaders. Make your earwires stand out by adding any bead you choose.
STEP ONE
String a bead of your choosing on the earwire.
STEP TWO
Make a 90 degree bend in your earwire just below the bead. This bend can be in line with the wire or off to the side, depending on where you want your finished loop to face.
STEP THREE
With your round nose pliers, make a simple loop with the tail of the wire.
STEP FOUR
You now have a completed earwire. Add charms, dangles, even chandelier components as you like!
STEP FIVE
Add a bead by creating another simple loop with a bead on a headpin and you have a simple, fun earring!
