strictly forbidden This month we’re going to create these cool all in one earrings. These are super easy to make and fun to wear. I’m sure most of you are familiar with Kidney Ear Wires. That’s the basic shape we’re making here. MATERIALS: 2 – 4” pieces of 20ga round half hard wire The beads used here are 8mm Hex Lantern Hematite beads. You can use round beads of any type or you can make daintier earrings using 4mm or 6mm beads. TOOLS: Flush cutters Step 1 Start by smoothing one end of each of your wires. Using your flat nose pliers lay the end of the wire about ½ to ¾ of the way across. Bend the wire down and around making a hook. Do this with both wires. Step 2 Your wire ends should look like this. Step 3 For this step I usually lay my wires beside one another making sure the ends are even. Make a mark about ½” up from the hooks. Step 4 Hold the wire with the hook facing away from you. Using your flat nose pliers bendthe wire up at the mark so your piece looks like an L with a hook on one end. Step 5 Repeat step 4 with the other wire. Step 6 Again, lay your wires next to one another, making sure the ends are even. Make a mark 2” down from the top (the upper right side of the photo). Step 7 Thread on three beads… 08 Step 8 Place the mark on the wire over your round nose pliers at the widest point, making sure the hook end is pointing down. Step 9 Bend the unbeaded end of the wire down towards the hook. Smooth the end and using your flat nose pliers make a small tilted up area. Your earring should now look like this. Repeat steps 8 and 9 for the other earring. Now you’re ready to start your New Year with a classy new pair of earrings. Here’s wishing each and everyone a Fantastic 2011!
