Equipment
- Wire cutter.
- Flat Nose Pliers
- Bend flat nose pliers
- Round nose pliers
Ingredients
- 12 black beads {about 6mm}
- 2 Silver sparkling beads {about 8mm}
- Silver chain
- 4 Jump rings {5mm}
- 2 Earring hooks
Instructions
STEP 1: THE BASE OF THE EARRINGS
- Take your eye pin and insert 3 black beads, 1 silver bead, and 3 black beads.
- We need another eye on the other end so let’s do a wire loop.
- Bend the wire at 90 away from you with your round nose pliers, and change the plier’s position to hold the other side of the wire.
- Bring the wire all the way around to make a loop and trim with a cutter as close as possible to the main wire.
STEP 2: GETTING YOUR CHAIN READY
- Now cut your chain by about 21 chain links {more or less depending on the chain you chose}. It’s supposed to be 10 links on each side and one for linking with the earn hook.
STEP 3: JOINING BASE AND CHAIN
- Slightly open the loop on your black and silver wire and insert one end of the chain.
- Close the loop again carefully.
- You can always use jump rings for this too.
- Then do the same on the other end.
STEP 4: ATTACHING YOUR EARRING HOOK
- Then using your round nose pliers pick the eleventh chain link.
- Using two of your pliers open a jump ring and insert the earring hook and your chain link.
- Close the jump ring.
- I always use double jumping to avoid falling off from the erring hook.
- Repeat the process with the second earring and you are all done!
