This is an extremely simple way to make a classy pair of earrings.. It doesn't take much time, it doesn't cost much... And it looks nice:D
These are the Things you'll be Needing... Not much.. really.. 1. Scissors/ Pliers 2. Metal Wire (I've used Copper Wire.. 18 gauge) 3.Seed Beads
Cut some wire.. (I used approximately 30cm per earring), and twist it as shown in the picture. Make sure that one side of it is about 4cm in length.
Twist it again so that it is similar to what is in the picture.
Bead the wire.. I've used five beads... (the number of beads used really depends on how big you want the earring to be).
Make another loop after adding the beads.
Repeat Step 4. I've used 5 beads for each side. This helps in maintaining the size. All the sides would remain equal.
Cross the shorter side and the longer side of the wire.
Wind the longer side of the wire around the shorter side as seen in the following step.
You will now have three loops, as shown in the picture.
This is how it will look.
Cut off the excess in the longer side of the wire, and bend the the shorter side to create a loop for your earring... Its Half done:)
Now, cut a piece of wire that is about 2cm in length.. (you'll be needing three of these for each earring). Make a tiny Loop on one end.
You could also add a bead to it, just to make it look better.
Add more beads.. I've used 10 beads for each of them. You can use as many as you want, depending on the preferred length.
Insert the other end into one of the loops in the earring. Loop it as shown in the picture. Repeat steps 12, 13, 14 and 15, for the other two loops. You'll be done with one of the earrings. Repeat Steps 1 to 15 to get done with the other one.
Tadaa!! There you go!:D Copper Earrings!! Ready to wear! Hope you found this project helpful:) Have fun!!! All the best!
