How To Make Delicate Crystal Wrapped Earrings
Materials
40 Crystal bicone beads, Teal Luster, 3mm
2 Hoop earrings, Silver, 30mm
2 Lengths 26-gauge silver wire, 13″ each
Tools
Wire cutters
Steps
1. Start by holding one end of the 13″ wire against the hoop leaving a 1″ tail. We like to start at the clasp end of the earring hoop.
2. Wrap the wire around the hoop three times. Press the wraps together and slide them to the beginning of the hoop.
3. Slide a crystal bicone bead onto the wire and down to the earring hoop.
4. Hold the bead in place against the hoop and wrap the wire around the hoop two times.
5. Repeat to add beads, wrapping the wire two times between each bead. Push the wraps and beads together as you work.
6. Continue until you have 20 crystal beads wrapped onto the hoop.
7. After the last bead, wrap the wire around the hoop three times.
8. Use wire cutters to trim both ends of the wire close to the hoop.
9. Repeat to bead the second hoop earring.
