    Quick Project Steps

    In this tutorial, we'll show you how to use a wire wrapping technique to create cascading Niagara Earrings. This is a great beginner project that uses just a few supplies. You'll love the way these earrings look!
    Start with a six inch piece of 20 gauge wire and a foot long piece of 24 gauge wire. Make a loop on one end of the 20ga wire. Pick up the 24ga and hold it so it intersects the thicker wire. Wrap the wire over the top and underneath the 20ga back towards yourself. Coil it around as many times as you would like your design to have. Push the coils together.
    Add the first bead to the 24ga wire, hold it to the top of the arch of the 20ga. Wrap the wire around the desired number of times before you add the next bead. Continue adding beads until you have three inches in length along the 24ga. Cut off the extra wire. Form the wire into a loop by wrapping around a round form.
