Retired - Petite Pumpkin Earrings

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 watching the video How to Make the Petite Pumpkin Earrings.
2. Following what you learned in the video, take a green head pin and slide on an orange glass rondelle bead. Create a simple wire loop and snip off any excess wire with your flush cutters.
3. Next, cut a 4 inch length of green Artistic Wire with your flush cutters.
4. Using your pliers, create some wire-wrappings beneath your simple wire loop with your length of wire. Add as much as you want for a messy look. You can see how to do this in the video here.
5. Cut two 2 inch lengths of wire with your flush cutters. You will be using this wire to add the curly "stems" on top of your orange glass rondelle bead.
6. Wrap the first length of 2 inch wire around your wrappings, leaving the end sticking out from one side. Using the tip of your round nose pliers, create 3-4 coils. See photo for assistance.
7. Repeat this step with your second length of wire, on the other side of your orange glass rondelle bead.
8. Next, use your chain nose pliers to open the loop at the bottom of your green earring hook, how you would a jump ring.
9. Slide it through the simple wire loop at the top of your orange glass rondelle bead and close.
10. You�re done!
