Beaded earring tutorial

Ever wanted to know how to turn those extra beads of yours into super cute earrings?? Follow this super simple method and start your own earring collection!

Materials, here's what you'll need:

  • A pair of wire cutters
  • A pair of round nosed pliers
  • various beads/combinations of beads of your choice
  • head pins color of your choice
  • Earring wires, shapes and colors of your choice

Everything you will need can be found at your local craft store or online

Step 1: String bead of your choice onto head pin. Make sure it is at the bottom of the wire and cut the wire approximately 1 centimeter above the end of the bead:
Step 2: With round nosed pliers, curl end of wire that you have just cut with pliers onto itself to form a new "closed on itself circle:"



Step 3: Open earwire and string through newly closed wire circle. Rotate bead in place, make sure it can dangle and move freely from hooks:

Just repeat with second earwire and now you have yourself a nice new pair of earrings:

Now you are saying, GEEZ that was simple...show me something more complicated for goodness sake? If you'd like to expand upon the first design and add another bead or two to your new earrings, just follow these steps:


Step 1: Follow steps in first tutorial to get your head pin secured inside your bead: Step 2: Secure another bead inside a head pin the same way, but don't close the wire circle loop all the way yet:

Step 3: Slip unclosed wire loop of second bead through closed loop of first bead:
Step 4: Close wire loop of second bead securely with round nose pliers:
Step 5: Gently open up top closed loop of first bead and slip earwire onto loop:

Step 6: Close wire loop with earwire connected securely with round nose pliers:
And now you have another pair of earrings!
This simple "wire looping" connection technique can be used in so many different way other than simple earring construction! You can connect an entire bracelet, necklace, or other chain of beads in this same mannor!

Hope you have fun!

You can find both pair of these earrings for sale in the Etsy Labs shop!

Brilliant thank you so much.
I have been wondering how this is done, I thought it would be really difficult and beyond me but now I know that it's not.
Thanks again

The Requiem shows up so many cool pictures that got me thinking a lot. And I really mean that a lot of requiem gold is very important and required. First off if the name is not taken the name and some requiem lant of book Requiem I do not if it is allowed to name a book. Some requiem money will well enough chatting better go and write this book. Comment on this please should I write this book or not. See you. In Requiem, there is blood. Monsters, blood, bigger monsters, and yes, more blood and need cheap requiem lant. You know what that requiem online gold means; there are factions, races changing sides, and all out war.
