Description

I love making jewelry but sometimes want a simple craft to give a stunning result - i love the earrings and i hope you do too!

Instructions

  1. Small 111459 2f2015 10 14 074929 imag0848

    Gather all your tools. For this project i did use a few specialty jewelry making tools. You can use a normal household hammer, just put a soft cloth over the silver wire to prevent any damage.

    I cut my 16cm piece of wire (so i could make 2 earrings!)

    Then using the chasing hammer I tapped on ONE end of each piece of wire to flatten it. This stage is important as the flattened end will catch your bead/charm

    Then very simply thread on you charm and gently bend the wire in the centre so that both end meet. Don't squish it too hard though! You want it to have a gentle curve in the part that will rest in the wearers earlobe.
