I understand that many of us want our lovely mom to have the best since she is always giving us the best! But not many of us can afford to buy gifts so instead of buying a gift, this year you can make your own gift for her. It is not about the money, it is about the time and dedication you spent making this gift!
This tutoria is me showing you guys how to make a lovely pair of earring. I will try to explain as detail as possible but the picture mostly speaks for itself.
So this is the pair of earrings we are making today! This post is gonna be very long and with many pictures!!!
Here are the materials you will be needing:
round nose plier and wire cutter
Earring hook
Jewelry wire. I'm using 24gauge.
Make sure that it is the same color as your earring hook
Bead or stone of choice.
For each earring I'm using two small plastic beads and one pink crystal bead.
Wires!
Now let's start with cutting a piece of your wire!
3-4inches is fine for a small bead.
Also make sure to have a container for your scrap wires
Now most of the pictures below speaks for itself.
I will explain some that may seem a little hard to understand.
Make loop
Wrap three times
Cut wire that is sticking out
Make loop, also wrap three times and cut
First small bead done
Stick new wire in and do the same from the beginning:
Make loop wrap three times, cut, add new bead, make loop, wrap three times, and cut
After having the two beads together, we are going to move on to the big bead
For the our big bead, we will make a loop from the top since we are not wrapping
The loop will look like this
Add the big bead
Now we do the loop, (add the the two chained small beads in the loop)
wrap three times and cut
YAY! Almost there!
Now we need our earring hook
Using our nose plier, make a gap and add our already chained beads in
Close the gap and TAADAA!!
Try with other kinds of beads and play around with your own designs
Wrap your jewelry in a nice box, add a bow, write a very lovely greeting card along with it! Your mom will love your gift. This earrings are also for sale at my Etsy Shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Limonadas
