Project Type: Wire working
By: Lauren
Materials:
Sterling silver ear wires
Two jump rings
22” of 18-gauge sterling silver fill wire
16” of fine silver chain
4 sterling silver headpins
2 small silver spacers
Small dowel (wood)
Steps:
Cut 18 gauge wire into two pieces at 5.5” in length.
Cut 16” in chain into 4 pieces of 4” each in length.
Take four headpins, on 1- put small silver spacers on and make a loop to attach
to the very end of the chain (each).
Take one piece of wire and wrap it around wood dowel to create swirls. Do this
to each piece of wire.
Make a loop at each end of the wire to connect to jump rings.
Connect wire with loops onto jump ring then put two pieces of wire on jump
rings.
Connect jump ring to the silver ear wires and close jump ring.
Your wire should be the same length as the chain, so if it is not, then cut the
wire until it is the same length.
Our earrings dangled approx. 4” in length, yours can be shorter or longer.
