These earrings are a great project for beginners! The only technique to master is how to make a simple wire loop.
- To make this earring, take a head pin and place beads in the following order onto it: 1 cube bead, 1 daisy spacer, 1 large olive bead, 1 daisy spacer, 1 medium olive bead, 1 daisy spacer, 1 small olive bead, and finally 1 bicone.
- After the last bead, create a simple wire loop and trim your tail.
- Open the loop at the base of the earring hook, the same way you would open a jump ring, and slip it onto the simple wire loop. Close the loop back up.
- Now create the second earring in the same way you made the first. Happy Holidays!
