Supplies

Supplies 1 pair earwires of your choice Two 3” head pins Two 8mm green fossil beads Four 6mm green aventurine beads Four Bali Beads about 6mm in size (The ones I used are called Lantern Beads)
Of course you do not have to stick with green or these types of stone beads. Your beads should be the same size. If you go with larger beads you will need longer head pins. |
|
|
Step 1: Take one head pin and string beads on in this manner. one 6mm, one Bali, one 8mm, one Bali and one 6mm |
|
|
Step 2: Using your round nose pliers grip the head pin just a little above the top bead and bend over to the side. The pliers should be touching the top of the bead. You should do this approximately ¼” up from the tips of your pliers. This will make a nice size loop. |
|
|
Step 3: Bring the end of the wire up and over the upper pliers jaw and back down on the other side as far as possible. I find my fingers do this step quite well. |
|
|
Step 4: Now turn your piece so it’s up away from the second pliers jaw. Now you can use your chain nose pliers or your fingers to bring the wire tail across between the loop and the top bead. Now grab that tail with your chain nose pliers and wrap it around in that space once or twice… |
|
|
Step 5: …and your finished loop should look something like the one on the left. Don’t forget to snug in that wire end. |
|
|
Step 6: Add your earwire by opening the loop on the bottom. Slip the dangle into the loop and reform your loop. You’re half done. Now repeat steps 1 through 6 for the other earring to complete the pair.

There we are with a nice pair of earrings reminding us that Spring is coming. These are great for St. Patrick’s day as well These are so simple to make and the choices of beads and findings are nearly endless. Remember, if using larger size beads be sure to use longer head pins. |
