Hi this is Julie with Beadaholique.com. Today I'm going to show you how to make the
Vintage Parlor earring out of this earring kit
so I've half of the ingredients and already made my first earring so I could show you
what it looks like and I've got half of the ingredients left so just remember
when you get this kit it's going to have double
the ingredients that you see here so that you can make your matched pair
and what you're going to get is a 12 millimeter Swarovski Elements
crystal faux pearl
as well as an 8mm. Just remember you're going to get two in the kit of each size
so that you can make a matched pair
Your going to get these large bead caps
and smaller bead caps and also this pretty drop and these are all by
Vintaj which is a lovely company that makes wonderful brass components
I've got an earring hook and you're gonna get
some eye pins
The tool you're going to need to create this
you're going to need a pair of chain nose pliers
round nose pliers
and cutters
this is really very easy to do and they go together so quickly
so you're going to take a eye pin and place onto one of your large bead caps
facing up
then you're going to put your temperature 12 millimeter pearl on top of the
bead cap
and you're going to sandwich that
with another bead cap
and you're going to make a simple wire loop
go ahead and bend your wire right after the bead
at about a forty five degree angle
pay attention to the orientation of your bottom loop because you want them to
match
you're going to grab
the wire right after the bead cap
and bend it over the top of your round nose pliers
than rotate your pliers so your grabbing it the top
and then finish bending it around
I like to use my fingers to do that, some people prefer to actually grip the
wire with chain nose pliers, up to you whatever is easiest
so you've got a loop and you need to trim that loop
and then I also like to go back and straighten it out because there's
usually not astray as it could be when he first week
and put that aside for one moment came into the exact same thing with the
smaller bead caps and a smaller pearl
nick and helen straighten that out
shares close
now we need to connector components together
sweep at them
now and now we need to lincoln today so you're going to open your simple
wire loop the same way you'd open jump ring to not to be pulling out and
stretching part you're going to be pushing the sides apart
just twisting
there's a little bit at the top of your dropped
attached time
menthe chain nose plier to close that back up
compare the other side
connect our loop
connect it
another simple wire loop
concludes that one up as well
diskeeper working your way up the earring now we've got are really pretty dangle
happening
we just need to be open
last simple wire loop
and attach it
tour earring finding and then we just need to close it up as well
and just knowing how to make simple wire loop and how to open close them well I
used to make a lot of different
pretty pair of earrings in different jewelry pieces
and this particular one is cut into Vintage Parlor and it comes as a complete kit
