You Will Need (4 things)

  • Craft Wire
  • Jewellery Pliers
  • Eraser
  • X Acto Knife

Steps (8 steps, 10 minutes)

  1. 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

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

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

    Bend the wire upwards as shown in the picture,

  4. 4

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

  5. 5

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

  6. 6

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

  7. 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.

  8. 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
