Wire Wrapping Jewelry – Rusted Sun Pearl Crystal and Wire Bead Earrings
Cute and fairly simple wire earring to make. I see people wearing these on a hot summer night. See the directions for the Rusted Sun Pearl Crystal and Wire Bead Bracelet too!
You’ll need these supplies:
2 – 6mm to 8mm pearls; dyed orange
2 – 6mm bicone crystals; Swarovski fire red
2 earwires
2 simple headpins
8 inches of 21 or 22 gauge wire for bead links; separated into two 4-inch piecesYou’ll need these tools:
wire cutters; flush cutters
Round nose pliers
Bent nose or chain nose pliers
may need a bead reamer if the holes in your pearls are too tight
Directions for this Tutorial:
1.) Place a pearl in the center of a 4-inch piece of wire. Wrap one side of the wire around the other side until you only have room enough to >make a loop and wrap. Repeat with the other wire.
2.) Bead the crystal on a simple headpin. Loop and wrap. Repeat with the other crystal.
3.) Add the beaded pieces to the earwires, the pearl first then the crystal on top. Enjoy!
