Tutorial: Spring Rain

made by Kica Bijoux

list of materialsThis is the list of materials and tools necessary to make 2 earrings

• I've used oxidized copper to create this earrings, but it can be any other wire –brass, copper, silver or gold-filled.

• 40 cm (15,75’’) of 22 or 23 gauge wire (of 0,6 mm in diameter) cut into 2 even pieces.

• 12 cm (4,72”) of 28 or 29 gauge wire (of 0,3 mm in diameter) cut into 2 even pieces (to attache beads to the earrings).

*2 drop beads – size 9x6 mm*2 copper beads – size 3 mm*2 copper beads – size 2.5 mm*4 copper beads – size 2 mm*1 pair of earwires

!!!First of all check if your copper beads (size 3 mm and 2.5 mm) have a big enough holes for two 22\23 gauge wires. Not every beads have that!!!

list of tools• round-nose pliers• wire cutters

1.33”

0.74”

0.27”

0.6”

Step 1Fold a length of 20g wire in half (as shown in the photo).

In this step, use your round nose pliers to create small loops on both sides of the earring.

Step 2

Now create two a little bit bigger loops (as shown in the photos). If your wire is elastic, it should be easy to form such shape

without the pliers.

Step 3

Put the copper bead (size 3 mm) on both wires and bend them like on the photo below.

Step 4

Put a smaller bead (size 2 mm) on the wire and form/bend it as it is shown in the photos.

Step 5

Do the same moves with second wire.Step 6

After step 5 and 6 the “left” side of the earring should look like the first photo. In this step you have to bend both wires “up”. You can shape

them around the copper bead (second photo).

Step 7

In this step squeeze the upper part of the wires and put the bead (size 2.5 mm) on both wires.

Step 8

Now wrap one wire around the other and cut the rest of it.

Step 9

Using your pliers, create the last loop and wrap the wire around the “bottom of the loop” and cut the rest of it. The

base of the earring is ready.

Step 10

String the bead onto the thin wire and wrap one part around the other (as it is shown on the photos).

Step 11

Cut the shorter part of the wire and then create a hook. Put it onto the base of the earring. Close the loop and wrap the wire

around top of the bead. Then cut the rest of the wire.

Step 12

Repeat all previous steps to create the second earring and then attach the earrwires. Now

your earrings are ready to wear!
