HOW TO MAKE A PRETTY SILVER EAR-RING




Very pretty and sparkely. :)

Here's what you need to make your own pair:

Supplies:
Wire (0.90mm), earring hooks, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, two crystal briolettes and two crystal round beads.

Steps


Step One: Cut a piece of wire about six inches long using wire cutters.

Step 2: String on a crystal briolette about 1 1/2 inches into the wire.

Step 3: Bend the wire around the top of the briolette

Step 4: Grasp the bent wire close to the bead with needle nose pliers and begin to wrap the tail of the wire around the main body of the wire with your other hand. You may have to use your fingernail or pliers to move the wire wrap a little closer to the bead if there are gaps in the wrapping.

Step 5: Trim off any excess wire with wire cutters and bend the tail of the wrap around the body of the wire with needle nose pliers so it looks similar to this:

Step 6: String on a crystal round bead

Step 7: String on an earring hook and then bend the wire into a circle around the loop at the bottom of the earring hook (I normally just use my fingers for this)

Step 8: Grasp the earring by the circle on the bottom of the earring hook and the wire you just made into a circle using needle nose pliers.

Step 9: Begin to wrap the tail of the wire around the body of the wire until you reach the round bead.

Step 10: Cut the excess wire off using wire cutters and bend any excess tail around the body of the wire using needle nose pliers. 

And that is all there is to it!
