Easy Earrings!

Made these lovely little Earrings earlier today....


Read on if you'd like to make them!......

You'll need the following....

Round nose pliers,flat nose pliers,wire cutters,2 beads (8mm) 2 large seed beads,2 earring findings and 2 lengths of wire cut to 7.5 inch long.

Next- take your wire and with your flat nose pliers make a small crook in the end..



Then thread on your seed bead first,followed by your larger bead...


Next you'll need your round nose pliers......hold the wire about 1cm above the beads..


Then bend the remaining wire away from you around the pliers and back towards yourself...


Then take the wire round to the right and begin to twist it down onto the bead...

Continue to twist....

Wrap the excess wire a couple of times in between the beads....
Then trim of the excess wire with wire cutters....


All that is left is to attach it to your earring finding.....


Voila!! Your finished earring!.......These can made in ant colour of course and look really effective when worn!! :)
