    Quick Project Steps

    Twist the 24ga wire around the square frame. Add on a Potomac crystal round bead and three czech pearls and wrap the wire around the other side of the frame so that the beads are inside of the square. Wrap the wire another time around the frame and add two pearls and two crystals and wrap around the frame on the other side for the second row of beads.
    Follow along with Allie in the SteamPunk Chic earrings tutorial to see how to bead around the outside of the frame and add a second frame to the top.
    Wrap the wire a couple times around when you're done the project and trim the end. Stretch the loop of an earwire so that it will fit onto the frame.
    You can use the technique learned with these Steampunk Chick earrings with many different forms and beads to easily switch up the look. They're simple to make, and you can create all sorts of different designs. What's great about this project is that it's perfect for giving as a gift. Who wouldn't love a pair of handmade earrings?
