A beaded array of textures and shapes are wire wrapped onto Nunn Design wire frames using 28 gauge wire. Glowing tones of apricot, burnt orange and brass make these earring both soft and striking.

Instructions

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.

By following the instructions below, you will make one earring. Repeat all instructions to make the second earring.

If you are new to wire wrapping, please watch the video: How to Wire Wrap Beads Onto a Form.
Use flush cutters to cut 20 inches of 28 gauge wire and coil four times around one side of your wire frame, approximately 1/4 inch from the top.
Using what you have learned in the video, string on your rows of beads with wire wraps in between, as follows: (Row one) 6 orange seed beads, (Row two) 5 brass beads, (Row three) 9 micro spacers, (Row four) 10 orange seed beads, (Row five) 7 faux pearls, (Row six) 11 orange seed beads, (Row seven) 12 micro spacers, (Row eight) 7 brass beads, (Row nine) 10 orange seed beads.
Once you have strung on the last row of beads, wrap your final set of coils and clip the excess wire.
To attach your earring hook, use pliers to gently open the loop of your earring hook. Slide on the top loop of your wire frame. Close the loop.
Enjoy your earrings!
