1. Angel Earrings
Here’s how to make your angel earrings! This is one technique you can use to make earrings, bracelets, rosary-style
beaded chain, or any piece of jewelry when you want a use a 20 gauge wire or thicker.
This is a step-by-step process of making wire loops and attaching a finding – in this case, an ear wire.
If you have any questions; come by Argenta Bead or sign up for an intro class. Have fun!
In addition to your Angel Earring kit, you’ll need:
1. Place beads on the headpin.
2. Cut off the wire, leaving enough to make a loop – a little less than half
an inch (it’s always better to cut wire too long instead of too short!)
3. Bend the wire 90 degrees at the top of the beads.
4. Using round nose pliers, grip the very end of the wire and roll the
pliers toward the beads making a full circle. Completed loop should be
right on top of the earring beads.

2. 5. Using chain nose pliers, grab the side of the loop closest to the end of
the wire and gently twist toward or away from you.
6. Attach piece to the ear wire and close loop by gently twisting wire in
the opposite direction.
7. Repeat for other earring.
