Simple Earrings

     In this Instructable I will teach you how to make earrings with beads.
It is fairly easy, and you can do many variations. No soldering involved.

Step 1 Get the Materials

For the earrings I'll show you how to make in this instructable, you'll need:

Jewelry pliers (any kind works, but be sure they are small enough, and mine have wirecutters that you'll need)
beading wire (I use 28 gauge)
at least one color of seed bead
a bigger bead for the bottom
and
earring holders (for this pair we'll be using ones without backs)

How did you get the seed beads in the inside of the big circle bead??

Well, actually, though PuzzleJenn's comment was valid, I just bought those large blue beads as they're seen in the instructable. So if you see a seed bead inside it, I bought it that way. ;)

It's really easy to explain, actually. You push the wire through the first hole in the big circle bead, then through the seed beads, then through the other hole in the big circle bead. I usually use a flocked bead board to hold them in place to slide the wire through, or just balance them on my index finger or thumb. Pinching them between thumb and forefinger may work as well, if the seed beads and 'big circle bead' are the same or similar thickness. The tricky part is lining up the holes in the seed beads with the hole in the big circle bead. :) Good luck!
