By following these instructions you will make one earring. Repeat this process to create a second earring.
- For instructions for how to do this technique please watch our video: How to Make Free Form Wire Loops.
- Using the Wubbers Bail Making Pliers, make a wire segment as shown in the video with the 18 gauge wire. You can model it after the video or you can make your own form.
- Clip the wire using your flush cutters. To round any sharp edges, use the Wooden Wire Rounder Tool.
- Next, take the 26 gauge wire and wire wrap the Czech Glass Druks on to your form as seen in the video.
- To the appropriate loop, attach the earring hook by opening the loop of the earring finding, in the same way you would a jump ring.
- All done!
