What you need
2 x Furnace Glass Beads
4 x 4mm Miracle Beads
1 foot 18g Sterling Wire (Cut in half)
1 x Pair Sterling Ear Wires
Instructions
Bright colors and a simple design make this a perfect Summer project.
Tools Required
Wirecutter
Round-nose Pliers
Chain-nose Pliers
Hammer and Steel Block
Step 1 – Use the round nose plier to make a loop at the end of the wire and continue into a spiral. I do both wires before moving on to the next step, as it is easier to match them at this stage.
Step 2 – Bend the wire up and back, then add a 4mm miracle bead, furnace glass bead and another miracle bead.
Step 3 – Bend wire back again and spiral the tail.
Step 4 – Use the hammer and steel block to hammer the spirals.
Step 5 – Add earwires, wear and enjoy!.

Great! Gives me something to do in the holidays! I love earrings but I don’t have my ears pierced so I just replace the hooks with magnets I bought. They are so sophisticated!!! I’ve literally just started beading, so maybe I’ll attempt these later, the look rather complicated! Definetly helps having the pictures there as well. LOVE IT!!!
Cool! 🙂
oh wow this would go great with a choker of the same color its great
Great tutorial. I’m just getting into doing beading, and I much prefer when the tutorials have pictures for each step. As soon as I buy some chain I will definitely try making these.

Nice earrings and an easy to follow guide to making them. Just need to finishe them off with a Clear or Metal Drop Stop earring back so they won’t ride up and out of your earlobe by chance.
You can find these and more at http://www.EarringDoctor.com.
