Lemon Quartz And Birdhouse Charm Hoop Earrings
This project takes seconds to make! Perfect if you're a jewellery making beginner, looking for a quick and beautiful gift idea or a treat for yourself.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. Begin by cutting a length of wire about 10-15cm long to start wire wrapping a briolette.
2. Slide your briolette onto the wire and form a triangle in the wire above the point of the briolette bead by pinching the wire at both ends and twisting.
3. Form a loop at the top of the triangle with a pair of round nose pliers and wrap the wire around to secure the loop until you are happy with the length of your wrap.
4. Open a 3.5mm jump ring with a pair of snipe nose and flat nose plies and attach your wire wrapped briolette by the loop at the to and add your open birdhouse charm by the bottom and close the jump ring.
5. Open the hoop earring and slide the charm by the loop at the top of the birdhouse.
6. Repeat all previous steps for the other hoop earring.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
