INSTRUCTIONS: 3 BASIC EARRINGS
Yes, it's time to get started! We have developed 3 basic earrings that you can start with. Choose from earrings such as stud earrings or earring hooks. Each earring has its own design, but you can of course also adjust this to your own taste. Which earrings appeal to you the most?
1. STUD EARRINGS
Making earrings with these stud earrings is really fun and easy. For this design we make an extension piece on the stud earrings using a thin rolo chain, which is connected to the earring back. You can make these earrings as a set or as a single item and combine them with other stud earrings, for example. With this trendy earring you can easily create a cool ear party which is the trend in 2021.
Start by threading a glass pearl onto the head pin and use a side cutter to shorten the head pin so that you are left with about 1 cm. Using round nose pliers you bend an eyelet to which you attach a jump ring. The charm is then attached to the jump ring. The stainless steel head pin is of excellent quality and has a little ball on the bottom which secures the glass pearl.
Now take the rolo chain and your side cutters and cut 1 or 2 pieces of 2.5 cm - depending on whether you are making a set or not. Attach a jump ring to both ends of the rolo chain and connect the earring back to one end and the stud earrings with the two charms to the other end. Once everything is secured and the jump rings are closed, your earrings are ready!
2. EARRING HOOKS
Do you want to make this beautiful earring hook set? Gather all the items together and start cutting your metal wire into two pieces of about 10 cm. At the end of your wire, place and squeeze a crimp bead, then cover it with a knot cover. You can gently squeeze this knot cover so that it covers the crimp bead nicely. As you can see, a knot cover serves both as a practical and a beautiful solution for finishing your metal wire.
Okay, now you can thread the beads onto the other side of the metal wire and leave a short end of metal wire. Now you thread a knot cover onto the wire followed by a crimp bead. Then gently squeeze both parts closed. Cut away the end part of the metal wire so that nothing can be seen.
Take your jump ring, bend it open using your set of pliers, attach the two knot covers and your earring hook to it and then close the jump ring. Follow these simple steps for the second piece and your earring hook set is ready!
3. HOOP EARRINGS
Go for a beautiful eye catcher with shell beads, Miyuki Delica's and stainless steel earrings. To make this earring set you only work with a few parts and a technique for making eyelets with head pins. Let's go!
You will need 3 head pins for the shell beads and 4 head pins for threading the other beads.
First thread this beautiful shell bead onto the headpin and shorten the head pin with a side cutter so that you have about 1 cm left to make an eyelet. Form the end of the head pin with round nose pliers until you have a nice and subtle eyelet. This step is always repeated for all “pendants” that are attached to an earring.
The bead bars are made up of small Miyuki Delica beads and stainless steel metal beads, strung in any order you like.
Now you attach a jump ring to every bead item and slide them onto your hoop earring. Are you really into details? Then add extra jump rings on the earring hoop, with Miyuki Delica's strung onto the jump rings. The end result will be beautiful earrings which you have made yourself quickly and easily!
