Description

These wire wrapped earrings are easy to make and look way more expensive than they are. Silver wire is wrapped around a turquoise bead and hung from a silver wire hook.

Instructions

1. 

   Take a turquoise bead and string the wire through the hole

2. 

   Bend the top of the wire and bend it around with the round nose pliers so that it makes a loop at the top of the bead.

3. 

   Take the free end of the wire and wrap it around the top loop, then wrap it tightly all around the stone. Then, wrap it back up around the top loop. Cut the free end of the wire off the spool. Use the pliers to pinch the end of the wire into the loop.

4. 

   Use your pliers to open the loop on the end of the ear wire and attach the wire wrapped stone. Close the loop with the pliers
