Smart Art and Craft SIMPLE DANGLE EARRINGS |

|
It is incredibly easy to make a pair of simple dangle earrings if you have the right equipment. If you have not got a pair of round nose pliers you can use the top of the nose on another pair (they are usually round).
If
you would like a print-out instructions sheet click here. You
will need: 2
earring hooks 2
head pins 2
big feature beads Extra
beads for the finishing touches Standard
beading pliers Round
nose beading pliers Cutting
pliers Method: 1.
Get a head pin and arrange the beads on it, usually with the biggest
bead at the bottom and the tinier ones on top of it. Make sure you leave
about a centimetre of wire so you can attach the earring hook later. 2.
Bend the end of the head pin at a 90 degree angle. 3.
Cut the end of the head pin so there is about a centimetre of wire left
over. 4.
Use the round nosed pliers (or the end of your standard pliers) to make
a circle with the end wire. 5.
Next attach the earring hook by opening the circle sideways with the
standard pliers. REMEMBER, you have to OPEN THE CIRCLE SIDEWAYS so you
DON’T BREAK IT. 6.
Place the ring on the end of the earring hook in the opened circle and
close the circle the same way you opened it. 7.
Now just do the same with the other head pin and beads and you’ll have
a lovely pair of earrings!
