• 

  Step 1

  Hold the craft wire from one end, (keep it on the bundle),

  Use the looping plier to make a small loop on that end

• 

  Step 2

  Circle the wire around that loop once or twice (but not more than that)

• 

  Step 3

  After making the first swirl hold the flat plier tightly right below the swirl,

  Bend the wire upwards as shown in the picture,

• 

  Step 4

  Now make the second swirl, for the second swirl use the looping plier to make the outer loop,

• 

  Step 5

  and then carefully circle the wire towards the center to complete the second swirly pattern

• 

  Step 6

  Use the flat nose plier to make a 90 degree bend from the center of the second swirl,

• 

  Step 7

  Keep 2 cm of the bent wire straight (this would be the stem of the ear stud) and cut the wire from the bundle by using a cutting plier.

• 

  Step 8

  I used white eraser (rubber) to make the earring backs.
  Use x-acto knife to cut the eraser into small pieces.
  Carefully push and screw the stem of the ear stud on the small eraser pieces and it will create a hole

Is there a specific type of craft wire to use for earrings?
Just wondering because it is going to go inside your ear piercing...

Use silver coated craft wire rather than copper craft wire, cuz some people are allergic to copper but it's safe to use silver coated craft wire.
