Materials 

• wire
• a variety of beads
• bead string
• jump rings 
• dangle earring attachments
• lobster clasp
• round nose pliers
• jewelry cutting pliers
• 2 string clasps

Earrings

Step One: Making the Loop

Start by gripping a piece of wire.

Loop the wire around the pliers.

Wrap the excess from the loop around the wire creating a spiral.

Step Two:

Bead the earrings in a pattern. Create another loop on the opposite end.

Step Three:

Add dangle earring attachments to either of the loops. You’re finished with the earrings!

Necklace

Step One:

Measure two pieces of string to your desired length then add about an inch. Two strands of string allow a sturdier necklace. Tie a knot at one end with both strands.

Step Two:

Attach a string clasp. Slide a jump ring through the clasp and close it using pliers (picture 1).

Pinch the clasp with the pliers (picture 2).

Step Three:

String the beads in a pattern that matches the earrings.

Step Four:

Repeat step two on the opposite end. Continue attaching jump rings to create a chain. Attach the lobster clasp to either side using jump rings.

Enjoy!
