Check out this latest tutorial from PotomacBeads! Allie shows how to make the Coiled Wire Earrings using Artistic Wire and beads. You'll love the finished product, and you'll be proud to say you made it yourself! Begin with the 20 gauge wire and intersect it with the 24 gauge wire, coil it tightly over the top and underneath. Make 26 coils. Take the wire cutters and cut flush, tuck in the ends to keep yourself from getting poked! Take a second piece of 20 gauge wire and using the round nose pliers, make a small loop to form an eyepin. Slide the loop onto the first piece of wire. Make another coiled section on the other side of the loop. Slide the two sections of loops to the middle of the wire. Slide an 8mm bead down the center wire. Fold the coiled sections around the bead and twist the wire to hold the bead in place. Put on another bead and add a new set of coils to both the left and right side of the bead. Fold the coiled sections around the bead as before. Trim the wire. Slide on a Czech rondelle and create a loop on top of the bead. Put the earwire onto the loop. Make sure it is sitting correct so the earring faces forward when wearing. Wirework is a very versatile jewelry making technique that can be used with a variety of beads and materials. It is a great way to add texture and interest to your jewelry designs. Coiled wire earrings are a great way to add a touch of style to any outfit. All you need is a few tools and supplies and you'll be on your way to creating beautiful jewelry.
