How To Make Crystal Wrapped Earrings

Tools & Materials

Silver hoop earrings, ours are 30mm in diameter
28 crystal bicone beads, 3mm
26-gauge wire, silver-plated
Wire cutters

Steps

1. Cut an 18″ length of wire.

2. Start at one end of a hoop earring and wrap the wire around the hoop three times.

3. Slide a bicone bead onto the wire.

4. Hold the bicone against the earring hoop, then wrap the wire twice around the hoop. Push your wraps tightly together to make room for more bicone beads as you work.

5. Continue adding bicone beads and wrapping, making two wraps between each crystal bicone bead, until there are 14 crystal bicone beads wrapped onto the hoop. Finish with three wraps.

6. Use the wire cutters to trim both ends of the wire.

7. Repeat to bead the second hoop earring.
