Add a Bead in Earrings
Express your creativity by crafting beaded jewelry, making necklaces, bracelets and Fashion Earrings using basic wire techniques. Give a bead to earring findings in order to a series link necklace or bracelet. Earring findings along with other jewelry supplies can be purchased in local craft stores an internet-based retailers. These blocks to your jewelry are produced from a number of metals, in many different shapes, sizes and kinds.
Adding Beads With Headpins
1
Pick a headpin length based on your earring design. Headpins are jewelry findings in a number of lengths having a blunt or decorative cap on a single end. You can use headpins to incorporate beads to earrings. As an example, to have the bead, or beads, dangle up to 4 inches in the lower earring finding, select 4-inch long headpins. To include a bead to a earring that falls just beneath the finding, select 1/2-inch long headpins.
2
Insert the thin end of the headpin with the hole in a bead. Add beads towards the desired entire headpin, leaving 1/4 to 3/8 inch of wire open at the end. Cut the pins with wire cutters if needed.
3
Support the open wire end of the headpin with chain nose pliers. Bend the wire in a right angle toward the exterior fringe of the bead.
4
Grip the bent tip end from the headpin with round nose pliers. Twist the pliers toward the bead. The headpin wire will form a loop. Don't close the loop.
5
Add the bead towards the earring by hooking the loop with the attachment loop about the earring finding. Close the loop.
Adding Beads With Wire
6
Cut a strip of 24-gauge jewelry wire 1/2 to 3/4 inches more than the width of the bead.
7
Create a 1/4- to 3/8-inch loop in a end from the jewelry wire. Use the same loop technique as described in the headpin section. Usually do not close the loop
8
Insert the bead on the open end from the jewelry wire. Make another loop since the wire exits the bead but do not close it.
9
Add a bead over one of the open loops. Close the loop. Hook the remaining open loop within the attachment loop of the Fashion Earrings finding.
