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.

Please note that to form your wire tear drop component, you will need a tube of seed beads to bend the wire around.

Start this project by watching the video, How to Make a Teardrop Bead Frame out of Wire for Jewelry Design. This video will show you how to make the focal components for this project. Cut a 3-inch length of 20-gauge wire and create your bead frame.
Next, place 1 pearl onto an eye pin. Create a simple wire loop on the other side of the pearl. Trim off excess wire.
Open a jump ring and attach it through the hole in your briolette pendant as well as one of the loops on your pearl. Close the jump ring. Open the loop on the other side of the pearl and connect to the base of your teardrop bead frame. Close the loop.
Open the loop at the base of your earring hook and link it through the two loops at the top of the teardrop bead frame. Close the loop.
Repeat the above steps to make your matching earring. Enjoy!
