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!
