With this post, we start an exhaustive section on beaded jewelry – here is a tutorial on making basic beaded earrings with wire wrapping technique. A wire wrapped loop gives a nice touch to the earring and secures the beads well too.

Supplies Needed:

Tools Needed:

1. Wire Cutter
2. Round Nose Plier

How to make Wire Wrapped Beaded Earrings:

Step 1:

Start with a head pin and slide a gold bead (spacer).

Step 2:

String the glass bead on the head pin. Glass beads can be used for various beading projects and have a versatile utility.

Step 3:

Similarly string a couple more spacers and crystal beads. Spacers are useful in creating different patterns; crystal beads add a royal touch to the earring.

Step 4:

Bend the wire at a right angle with your finger.

Step 5:

With the round nose plier grip the wire and bend it (the wire) downwards.

Step 6:

Step 7:

Have a grasp of the loop and wrap the wire around the headpin stem using your hand.

Step 8:

We keep wrapping down to the crystal bead. Two wraps should be good for this. After wrapping, cut off any extra wire with a wire cutter.

Step 9:

Insert a fish hook wire.

Step 10:

Repeat steps 1 to 9 for the other earring.
