1. Handmade jewelry ideas-wire wrapped Chandelier earrings
I always love handmade jewelry ideas, especially the
wire wrapped ones. The wire wrap technique is
common and almost been regarded as one necessary
technique that a real craft fancier should master. Here,
let just get start and try making one for yourself.
Things you may need:
Opal Bead
Alloy Metal Bead
Jumpring
Earring hook
0.5mm Brass Wire
1.5mm Aluminum Wire
Side Cutting Plier
Round Nose Plier
Flat Nose Plier
How are the handmade jewelry ideas like?
Step1: wrap the connected loops
decoration
1. Cut 15cm long aluminum wire, grab one end tip
with bottom of round nose plier, loop one time;
2. At the adjacent location, loop the second one in
same direction;
3. Then form the third, fourth and fifth ones.

2. Step2: wrap the chandelier component
1. Prepare another segment of aluminum wire, about
20cm;
2. Curve the 1/3 point around a tape measure. Then
you’ll obtain a drop shape chandelier component.
Finally, rotate the short tip around the long one to
close the chandelier. Then, loop the top and remove
the excess part.
Step3: Wrap the decorative
element onto chandelier.
Take a fairy long 0.5mm brass wire, start to
wrap from the center location;
Step4: Wrap on the focal opal bead.
Lay your bead in the chandelier and mark the
locations where two holes will be. Keep wrapping
the chandelier, when the wire reached to the two
positions, cross two end through the bead.
After that, keep wrapping until covering the
entire chandelier.
3. Make a complete pair. They are so amazing, right?
Watch different gauges of wire incorporate in one item that really makes lots of fun and
amusement. However, for the handmade jewelry ideas, please do be careful as to your hands may
be easily scratched by wire while working with them. Except this, the wire wrapping accessories
are approximately perfect!

Step5: embellish the bottom with
metal alloy beads
Take a new strand of brass wire and start to wrap
from the location where you place the connected
loops components. Supply metal alloy beads while
wrapping the part.
Each time thread the wire; hook the previous coil
so that your beads may be in place.
Step6: add on the earring
hooks
When finished all works about the
chandelier, the rest process is attach the
earring hook by a jumpring.
