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
