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!
