You Will Need (5 things)

  • Accent Bead(s)
  • 2 Eye Pin(s)
  • 20 gauge Wire
  • 2 Earring Hooks
  • 2 Glass Beads

Steps (4 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Find an object that has a similar circumference as your glass bead. I used a dowel rod. Wrap your 20 gauge wire around your object several times.

  2. 2

    Cut sections of your coil. I cut at 4 coil increments. Put your glass bead in the middle of the coils. Take chain or needle nose pliers and create a spiral loop at the end. Make sure the holes match up with each other. Kind of like the picture (which I will upload soon). Now create another spiral loop on the other end. This will secure the bead in place. Repeat with other glass bead.

  3. 3

    Now that your beads are wrapped. Take an eye pin or head pin and string on the beads you would like on your earrings. create a loop or wrapped loop at the top. Attach to hook earrings. And done!

    These wire wrapped beads are also great for necklaces, bracelets, and more! It is the same process. =^_^= Enjoy!
