How To Make Easy Beaded Earrings

Materials
- Jewelry wire – 16 gauge
- Memory wire
- Jewelry pliers
- Earring Hooks
- Jump rings
- Seed beads
- Round 1 cm or 1.5 cm bead
Instructions
- Grab the 16 gauge wire bundle and cut out 2 pieces of wire (of the same length, the pieces I used were 12 cm long). Create 2 small loops at both ends of each wire piece.
- Use a round object to form a circular piece with the wires. Make sure to bring the looped ends close to each other, keeping about 1 cm gap between them. You can hammer the wire circle base to give it a sturdy finishing.
- Grab a long piece of memory wire (24 cm or more). Coil the memory wire 3 or 4 times around the circle wire band near its curved side (opposite to the loops).
- Insert a bead (1.5 cm or 1 cm diameter) into the coiled wire through its open end. Bring the bead near the bottom side of the band and coil the open end of the wire around the band where the bead ends.
- For the next layer I’m using golden seed beads. Insert the beads into the wire through its open end and draw the beaded wire around the top open end of the first large bead.
- Once the beading reaches the other side of the bead and band, coil it around the band tightly again.
- Continue adding beaded wire layers until you’re happy with the beading pattern. After reaching the end of the beading coil the remaining wire around the band tightly and cut extra if necessary.
- Attach jump rings through the 2 loops on the wire and then attach another jump ring by connecting the 2 previous jump rings. Attach an earring hook with the middle jump ring to complete the earring.
