Rustic Love Earrings (Reboot)

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

1. Begin by using flush cutters to cut 5 inches of 22 gauge hematite craft wire.
2. On one end of the wire, make a wrapped wire loop, sliding on one copper mini heart before coiling the loop closed. Double the thickness of your coil against the bead's oversized hole by using the technique shown in this video.
3. Slide on one faceted rectangle bead, then make another wrapped wire loop with a double-thick coil the same way you did in step 2.
4. Use pliers to attach an earring hook onto your wrapped wire loop from the previous step.
5. Enjoy your earrings!
