hi this is kat with beadaholique.com and I slit bedell rondell and a little spacer bead on the inside there and we're gonna make a simple wire loop to finish off the look so what we have here today is again we have our 12 millimeter Swarovski pearls and today I'm going to be using the iridescent white and this is our little rondell here so you can see what it looks like from both angles I have my little spacer beads and these are tierracast spacers I have my earring hooks and then I have some head pins and today we're going to be doing a two inch 22 gauge alright so the only tools that you're going to need are very basic tools they're gonna be a pair of chain nose pliers a pair of round nose pliers and a pair of flush cutters alright so let's go ahead and take our head pin here and very simply we're going to string on our pearl and let that sit all the way down at the bottom we're going to string on our rondell and you can see how beautiful that looks already and then we're gonna take a little spacer bead because I want to fill that little space on the inside there and the reason to do that is so that our little loop sits on top as opposed to kind of nestled in there which it's really hard to get your pliers in there to make a simple wire loop so this is going to make it nice and easy alright so now I'm just gonna hold my bead down there at the bottom come in with my round nose pliers and grip just above that little spacer bead there and I'm gonna bend my wire back just a little bit and now I'm going to move my pliers in so I can get a nice little loop I'm gonna Bend that wire up and over the top just wrapping it around those pliers move my pliers and bring that wire just across there making a nice little loop and then you can come in with your flush cutters and sneak in there and trim that loop and set our little piece aside now the final part is I'm going to come in with my chain nose pliers and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna Bend that loop so that it's open nice and wide I can slip on my earring hook and come in put the very tip there and close up that loop and make sure it's nice and close and then you are all done so there is our silver version so you of course just naturally repeat to make the second earring there but you can do silver you can do gold and you can do lots of different colors of these Swarovski pearls or any other 12 millimeter bead that you desire you can get all of these supplies and see even more tutorial videos by heading over to beadaholique.com if you're new here and you enjoy what we do be sure to hit that subscribe button below and that notification bell to get all the latest from beadaholique
