Project Instructions
Step 1 Use chain nose pliers to make a 90° bend an inch from one end of a 3" piece of 24 ga. wire. Slide a top-drilled teardrop bead onto the wire so it sits next to the bend. Gently bend the wire, pushing it up next to the teardrop. Where the wires cross, bend the long wire up. Hold across both wires with chain nose pliers, and wrap the short wire around the long wire to form a wire wrap. Wrap two times and trim off the excess wire using flush cutters.
Step 2 String one brass spacer bead, one 8mm blue iris round, one brass spacer bead, and one gold seed bead onto the wire. Make a wire wrapped loop at the top. Repeat, creating a second dangle.
Step 3 Use chain nose pliers to open the loop on an earring wire. Slide the dangle into the loop. Close the loop of the earring wire. Repeat to finish the other earring.
