Bead Soup Project 4

 

These Boho earrings will go with all your casual outfits 

and help you practice your wire wrapping skills.

For this earring project it will be a true bead soup creation by just randomly

 picking beads as you create.

Start out with  2 pieces of 20 gauge wire that are 4 inches long, 

a pile of your bead soup beads.

And piece of 26 gauge wire about a foot long.

Wrap  the 20 gauge wire around something to get a nice teardrop shape

Make 2 try to make them the same.

Make wrapped loop on one end of each wire.

Attach thinner 26 gauge wire around top where you created the loop.

Add a bead wrap wire2 times then add another bead.

Do this till you get around the loop leaving an inch on the end bare.

Use the remaining wire to wrap around the hoop end of the wire and bring it straight down the center.

Clip off excess wire leaving enough to make a small loop.

To make the dangle  

string on 4 beads tie 

add 1 bead in between the 4 you first strung on . 

it will look something like this when done.

Add 3 beads onto each of the 4 beads sticking out

Use a piece of the thinner wire to create a link connecting it to the bead shape you just created.

Add this to the loop in the center of you earring and you are done.

Have fun playing with different shapes and sizes

Fall is in the air earrings

 

Last night while watching TV I realized  that I had some seed beads in the fall is in the air color palette so I started playing around and came up with this cute fall inspired earrings.

They are very light weight and dangly.

 Very easy to create I just ladder stiched 

Row 1 10 sets of 3 seed beads ( Orange   Brown.  Orange ) 

Row 2  9 sets of 2 seed beads ( Brown )

Row 3   8 sets of 2 seed beads ( Orange )

          Row 4  7 sets of 3 seed beads ( Brown )

          Row 5   6 sets of 3 seed beads ( Orange)

          Row 6  4 sets of 2 seed beads ( Brown )

           Row 7   3 sets of 3 seed beads ( Orange )

Then created a loop on top with 11  alternating seed beads and ran the thread all th way back down to the first row. to make the loops. 

When creating the loops start on the two outside section of beads and work your way in.

These amounts can very depending on the sizes of your beads once you make your first loop make adjustments as needed so the loops lay nicely.

1st loop has 30 seed beads  ( Orange )

2nd loop has 25 seed beads ( Brown )

3rd loop has 16 seed beads ( Orange )

4th loop has 8 seed beads ( Brown )
