Instructions

  1. Small 101868 2f2014 05 18 133646 20131229 132214

    Measure and cut 30 cm craft wire. Keep a few cm extra because you won't be able to add extra wire later if needed, Thread the bead into that wire and fix its position in the center of the wire.

  2. Small 101868 2f2014 05 18 133655 step%2b 281 29

    Start wrapping the wire around the bead from both sides and evenly.

  3. Small 101868 2f2014 05 18 133701 step%2b 282 29

    Stop wrapping when the wire reaches 2 cm on one side and 4 cm on another side or at least try to keep.

  4. Small 101868 2f2014 05 18 133707 step%2b 283 29

    Use the flat nose plier to straighten the long part (4 cm) of the wire,

  5. Small 101868 2f2014 05 18 133712 step%2b 284 29

    Now wrap the short part (2 cm) of the wire around the long part.

  6. Small 101868 2f2014 05 18 133742 step%2b 286 29

    Use a small round object to make the hook for the earring, I used a pen, Simply measure and hold the straight part of the wire adjacent to the pen Carefully bend the wire around the pen to make a hook-like pattern,

    After making the hook cut extra wire if needed. There! done :)
