What you need
2 Large Beads
2 Medium Beads
2 Small Beads
2 Earring Wires
2 Eye Pins or Head Pins
Tools: Round Nose Pliers Wire Cutters
Instructions
1. Start each earring by sliding the beads onto the eye pin in the order desired. I placed them in this order: Medium Bead, Large Bead, Small Bead.
Once the beads are on the wire use the round nose pliers to form a loop close to the top of the small bead. Leave the loop open, so that you can attach the pin to the earring wire.
2. Attach the pin to the earring wire by slipping the open loop that you have formed over the loop at the end of the earring wire.
Use the wire cutters to cut the extra wire off to finish your earring.
To attach the pin to the wire more securely you can optionally wrap the extra wire around the pin. This is best done with two sets of flat nose pliers. Hold the loop on the pin in one set of pliers and use the other set to wrap the extra wire around the pin.
3. Repeat these steps for the second earring to finish this project.

They are ok, but I’d prefer them to be longer and different colours
E-bay is a great place to look or a local craft store
Where can I buy earring wires? I’d love to make these, but I can’t find the wire.

What about the people who don’t already know how to make jewelry? This project is perfect for them, please remember this is a learning site, not everyone knows everything.
Pretty, but couldn’t anyone that makes jewelry figure out how to do that by themselves????
i wud say average but theyre sort of easy to make, try using hoop earrings instead of hooks., with multible loops, just as easy, but more fun.
